President Bola Tinubu has sacked Inspector General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun, naming AIG Olatunji Disu recently promoted to FCID Lagos to lead the Nigeria Police Force.

Presidency sources said Disu, born 1964 and extended past September 2024 retirement, steps up amid unconfirmed but imminent official word.

Egbetokun’s contentious tenure ends, reshaping security leadership.

Focus turns to Disu’s mandate: fortify probes, cut corruption, and deliver safer streets nationwide.
