The Nigeria Police Force has officially unveiled the portrait of its acting Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, ahead of his formal swearing-in scheduled for Wednesday. The announcement was made through a post on X by the Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, on Tuesday.
In the portrait, Disu is formally described with the title of Inspector-General of Police, signalling the final step before his official assumption of office. Disu’s swearing-in will be conducted by President Bola Tinubu during the Federal Executive Council meeting on Wednesday. His appointment comes after the Nigeria Police Council gave unanimous approval on Monday, endorsing him as the substantive head of the force.
The Nigeria Police Force described the release of the portrait as part of efforts to formally present the nation with its new top police officer, highlighting both the significance of the role and the continuity of leadership within the force. Observers note that Disu’s elevation to the substantive position marks a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s policing hierarchy, emphasizing stability and a smooth transition of leadership within the national security apparatus.
