Tinubu to swear in Disu as IGP today

President Bola Tinubu will on Wednesday (today) swear in Olatunji Disu as the substantive Inspector General of Police, following the unanimous endorsement of his appointment by the Nigeria Police Council on Monday.
“The swearing-in ceremony will take place during the Federal Executive Council meeting scheduled for the same day,” Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced in a statement on Monday
This is coming just a week after President Tinubu appointed him acting IGP following the resignation of Kayode Egbetokun last Tuesday.
Although Egbetokun officially cited “family issues” in his resignation letter, several reports have suggested that the former police chief was summoned to the Presidential Villa and asked to step down over his resistance to the President’s directive to withdraw police officers from VIP protection duties, his opposition to state policing, and alleged vindictive conduct toward colleagues.
The new IGP, Disu, was born on April 13, 1966, in Lagos State and joined the Nigeria Police Force on May 18, 1992, as a Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police.
He will qualify for retirement in May 18, 2026 after attaining the age of 60.
However, if the new Police Act is implemented in this case, he will serve a term of four years.
