President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has removed Kayode Egbetokun from his position as Inspector-General of Police and appointed Tunji Disu as the new head of the Nigeria Police Force. The decision marks a major shake-up in the country’s security leadership.Sources indicate that Egbetokun was directed to step down following a meeting with the President at the Presidential Villa. Although official statements are expected to provide further clarification, arrangements for the transition have reportedly commenced at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
Disu, a senior police officer with extensive operational and administrative experience, is set to assume leadership at a time when the government is under increasing pressure to strengthen internal security and reform policing operations nationwide. His appointment signals a new phase in the administration’s approach to law enforcement and public safety.
More details surrounding the leadership change and the formal handover process are expected to emerge in the coming days
