IGP Olatunji Disu Urges Rivers Police to Uphold Discipline

Olatunji Disu, the inspector-general of police, addressed officers of the Rivers State Police at the Police Officers’ Mess in Port Harcourt, urging them to embrace professionalism and discipline. He stated that a police officer's inability to return to a community where they previously served indicates poor performance.

Disu visited Rivers State to celebrate Mama Opuyiga, a 96-year-old retired deputy commissioner of police, who contributed significantly to the history of women in the Nigerian police force. He encouraged officers to reflect on their service and the impact they have on the communities they serve, asking them if they would be welcomed back in the future.

Disu highlighted the importance of handling every case with care, as it reflects on their professional integrity. He noted that his own experience in Port Harcourt showed the positive outcomes of maintaining good relationships with the community.
