IGP Disu Launches Campaign for Police Professionalism

On February 24, 2026, Inspector General of Police Olatunji Disu initiated a comprehensive campaign aimed at transforming the Nigeria Police Force by instilling a culture of accountability and service. This campaign seeks to strengthen internal oversight mechanisms and revitalize the complaint response unit, ensuring that police personnel are held accountable for their conduct.

Disu's tenure focuses on dismantling bureaucratic loopholes that have historically allowed misconduct to go unpunished, particularly in the Southeast Zone. He emphasized the importance of independent investigations into police misconduct and the need for a transparent judicial process.

Additionally, Disu aims to balance disciplinary measures with the welfare of officers, advocating for better housing and pension administration. The campaign marks a significant shift in the police force's approach, aiming to restore public trust and dignity in the institution, following a 16-year period characterized by administrative friction and corruption.

The initiative was symbolically launched during a ceremony on March 12, 2026, marking a new era for the Nigeria Police Force.
