Civil Group Urges New IGP Disu to Maintain Police Integrity

The Save the Poor Needy Charity Initiative has issued a statement advising Rilwan Tunji Disu, the newly appointed 23rd Inspector General of Police in Nigeria, to refrain from allowing the police to be used by politicians for personal vendettas. The organization, led by President Yemi Ezekiel Bello, congratulated Disu on his appointment and urged him to uphold professionalism within the police force.

They stressed the importance of fair and neutral policing, highlighting the need for the police to protect citizens' rights and maintain democratic principles. The group also called for improvements in police welfare, including better living conditions in barracks and adequate salaries, which they noted affect morale.

They warned against political interference and urged Disu to prioritize the welfare of police personnel, enforce discipline, and ensure justice is served without bias. The statement reflects a broader concern for the integrity of the police force and the need for public trust in law enforcement.
