Disu's Security Operations in Rivers State After Angbashim's Murder

Three years after the killing of Police Superintendent Bako Angbashim, the security operations initiated in response to his murder remain significant in Rivers State. Angbashim, a former Divisional Police Officer of Ahoada Police Division, was killed on September 8, 2023, in Odiemudie, raising concerns over cult-related violence.

Following his death, then-Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun deployed Olatunji Disu, his Principal Staff Officer, to Rivers State as the 45th Commissioner of Police on November 15, 2023. Disu emphasized that "nobody kills a police officer and goes scot-free," which became a guiding principle for police operations.

Under Disu's leadership, intelligence-led policing and community engagement were employed to combat criminal activities, leading to a police raid on February 10, 2024, where the prime suspect, David Gift (2Baba), was injured and later died. Disu's tenure also involved operations against other suspected cult figures, enhancing security in affected communities.

His effective strategies were acknowledged during his send-off on October 9, 2024, by Tammy Danagogo, representing Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
