CRAN applauds AIG Disu FCID’s posting, vows solution-based engagement

The Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria (CRAN) has applauded the formally the deployment of the Assistant Inspector General of Police AIG Olatunji Disu to the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon Close, Ikoyi, Lagos.

In a statement he personally signed Mr Olalekan Olabulo, President, CRAN, noted that Disu’s deployment signals the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun’s strategic intent to reinforce the country’s criminal investigation architecture with seasoned tactical leadership, just as he welcomed the people’s cop back to Lagos.

According to Olabulo, AIG Disu’s three-decade career encompasses frontline operational commands: Rapid Response Squad, Intelligence Response Team, and Commissioner of Police in Rivers State and the Federal Capital Territory.

He noted that the postings placed him at the core of counter-insurgency operations, armed robbery suppression, and intelligence-driven policing.

“CRAN expects that AIG Disu’s experience in high-threat environments will translate into strengthened forensic capacity, streamlined case management, and improved inter-agency synergy at the FCID Annex. His track record offers a replicable model for integrating tactical intelligence into investigative procedures.

“The Association is confident that he will consolidate the FCID’s existing gains while introducing targeted innovations to enhance its forensic capabilities, digital evidence handling, and overall investigative turnaround time, critical components in a modern crime-fighting architecture.

“The Association commends the Inspector General of Police for this strategic deployment, particularly at a time when the nation contends with evolving security threats that demand seasoned investigative command. AIG Disu assumes leadership with a clear mandate to align the Annex’s operations with national security priorities.

“AIG Disu has affirmed his commitment to integrity, transparency, and professional conduct. CRAN believes this ethical posture will reinforce public trust in the FCID and elevate compliance with rule-of-law standards across its investigative value chain.

“As AIG Disu settles into this command, CRAN pledges constructive, solutions-focused engagement with the FCID Annex. The Association will support initiatives that advance investigative excellence, operational accountability, and intelligence-led policing in Lagos and beyond,” Olabulo said.
