President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Assistant Inspector-General Tunji Disu as the new Inspector-General of Police, replacing Kayode Egbetokun.

A presidency source confirmed the development on Tuesday, stating that an official announcement would be made shortly. The source described the appointment as confirmed, noting that the information had received double verification.

Disu’s elevation to the top police position marks a leadership change within the Nigeria Police Force, though details surrounding the decision were not immediately disclosed.

Attempts to obtain a reaction from the Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, were unsuccessful as of the time of filing this report.

Further information on the transition is expected from the Presidency in due course.
