Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan, Editor-in-Chief | Sele Media Africa
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday formally decorated Tunji Disu as the Acting Inspector-General of Police during an official ceremony held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, marking a significant leadership transition within the Nigeria Police Force.
The decoration ceremony took place at the President’s office inside the State House Abuja at approximately 4:00 p.m., in the presence of senior government officials and security chiefs. The event formally confirmed Disu’s assumption of duties as acting head of the police force following recent changes in the institution’s leadership.
Disu’s appointment came shortly after the resignation of former Inspector-General Kayode Egbetokun, whose exit created a vacancy at the top of Nigeria’s policing structure. His appointment is currently in an acting capacity pending confirmation by the appropriate authorities, in line with statutory procedures governing the office of the Inspector-General of Police.
During the ceremony, top officials in attendance included senior members of the presidency and the security establishment, underscoring the importance of continuity and stability in Nigeria’s internal security framework.
Disu, a career police officer with decades of operational and intelligence experience, assumes leadership at a time when Nigeria faces evolving security challenges. Observers note that his tenure—if confirmed—will be closely watched for reforms aimed at strengthening professionalism and public trust in the police.
His decoration signals the formal commencement of his role as Acting Inspector-General, placing him at the helm of Africa’s largest police institution by manpower and one of the continent’s most strategically significant security agencies.
