Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu has set up an eight-member committee to steer the implementation of state police and push forward his strategic policing agenda. The announcement came during Disu’s first meeting with senior officers of the Nigeria Police Force, shortly after his confirmation as the 23rd indigenous Inspector-General of Police. His appointment was approved by the Nigeria Police Council and followed by his swearing-in by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa. Professor Olu Ogunsakin was named to head the committee. Addressing the officers, Disu highlighted that leadership comes with responsibility, noting that police operations must be guided by professionalism, discipline, and accountability. He stressed the importance of exercising authority with restraint and ensuring respect for human rights. “Every Nigerian deserves to be treated with dignity, fairness and justice, regardless of status or background,” he said. The IGP also announced plans to strengthen internal oversight, directing that both the Public Complaint Unit and the X-Squad operate independently to enhance transparency and accountability. On decentralisation, Disu explained that the creation of state police would enable different tiers of government to actively contribute to addressing security challenges. This initiative aligns with the Federal Government’s renewed push for state police as part of broader reforms aimed at improving national security. Tunji Disu had initially been appointed acting Inspector-General on February 24, following the resignation of former IGP Kayode Egbetokun.
