Tunji Disu Becomes Acting Inspector General of Police

Tunji Disu officially assumed the role of acting Inspector General of Police in Nigeria on Wednesday, following the resignation of Kayode Egbetokun. Egbetokun had resigned from his position on June 19, 2023, citing family reasons.

Disu's appointment was confirmed by President Bola Tinubu. On the day of his assumption, Disu received his first salute as Inspector General from the quarter guard at the Police Headquarters.

The ceremony took place at the Villa at 4:25 PM, where Disu was dressed in a blue suit, white shirt, and tie, accompanied by the Deputy Inspector General of Police. This transition marks a significant change in the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force.
