Police Council Ratifies Disu as Acting Inspector-General of Police

The Nigeria Police Council has ratified the appointment of Kayode Egbetokun Disu as Acting Inspector-General of Police, paving the way for his formal swearing-in. The council’s decision followed consultations among key security and government stakeholders.

Council members expressed confidence in Disu’s professional track record and strategic experience within the Nigeria Police Force. They emphasized the need for continuity and decisive leadership amid evolving national security challenges.

His appointment comes at a time when Nigeria faces heightened concerns over criminal activities, banditry, and communal conflicts in various regions. Security analysts say the acting IG must quickly articulate a clear operational roadmap to strengthen policing outcomes.

Within the force, senior officers have pledged institutional support, noting that unity and discipline will be essential to achieving measurable improvements in public safety. Reform advocates also expect renewed attention to community policing and intelligence-driven operations.

The upcoming swearing-in ceremony is anticipated to mark the beginning of a new phase in police leadership, with stakeholders closely watching for policy directions aimed at restoring public confidence in law enforcement.
