The National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP has congratulated the newly appointed Acting Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, describing his elevation as well deserved.
In a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Mr. Eric Elezuo, the association commended President Bola Tinubu for appointing Disu to head the Nigeria Police Force, noting that his wealth of experience, professionalism and integrity would boost officers’ morale and strengthen efforts to combat crime nationwide.
Disu takes over from the immediate past Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, who resigned to attend to family matters.
NAOSNP described the Acting IGP as a seasoned officer with a remarkable track record, expressing confidence that he would bring his years of policing intelligence and leadership to bear in his new national assignment.
Also speaking, NAOSNP National President, Mayor Oki Olatunji Samson, lauded the appointment, saying Disu has consistently demonstrated competence in various strategic positions across the country.
Until his appointment, Disu served as Assistant Inspector-General in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex, Alagbon, Lagos.
He previously held key roles including Commissioner of Police in Rivers State and the Federal Capital Territory, as well as Commander of the Rapid Response Squad in Lagos.
Born on April 13, 1966, in Lagos Island, Disu enlisted in the Nigeria Police Force in May 1992 and has served in multiple operational and administrative capacities.
The association also appreciated the contributions of former IGP Kayode Egbetokun, acknowledging his engagement with the media body during his tenure.
Acting IGP Disu has since assumed office.
