Felicia Asuquo, Abuja
President Bola Tinubu has sworn in Tunji Disu as the acting Inspector-General of Police, decorating him with his new rank at the State House, Abuja.
Disu’s appointment comes just 48 days before his scheduled retirement on April 13, 2026, but the amended Police Act allows him to serve a four-year tenure, potentially extending his term until 2030.
Tinubu, who pinned the new insignia on Disu’s uniform, commended the outgoing IGP Egbetokun for his service to the nation.
The ceremony comes barely 24 hours after Egbetokun submitted his resignation letter to the President on Tuesday, citing family issues that require his undivided attention
Present at the ceremony were the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, and the immediate past IGP, Kayode Egbetokun.
