EKO HOT BLOG reports that Disu arrived at the Villa alongside members of his family for the formal decoration to the rank of Inspector General of Police.
Until his appointment on Tuesday, he served as an Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department at Alagbon.
In line with the provisions of the Police Act 2020, President Tinubu is expected to convene a meeting of the Nigeria Police Council to formally consider Disu’s appointment as substantive Inspector General of Police. His name will subsequently be forwarded to the Senate for confirmation.
His appointment followed the resignation of former Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, who reportedly stepped down citing pressing family considerations.
President Tinubu earlier received Egbetokun’s resignation and expressed appreciation for his years of service to the Nigeria Police Force and the country.
The President commended his dedication and commitment to strengthening the nation’s internal security architecture during his tenure.
He also expressed confidence that Disu’s experience, operational expertise and leadership capacity will provide focused direction for the Nigeria Police Force at a critical period for national security.
