Following reports that IGP Kayode Egbetokun has stepped down, all eyes are now on Assistant Inspector-General (AIG) Tunji Disu.
He is widely expected to be named the next Inspector-General of Police. Here is a simple breakdown of who he is and why he was chosen.
Before this big move, Disu was in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Alagbon, Lagos.
He is famous for leading the Intelligence Response Team (IRT), a specialized unit that handles the most difficult and high-profile criminal cases in Nigeria.
He has served as the Commissioner of Police in both Rivers State and the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja), giving him experience in managing security in both tough terrains and the nation's capital.
Unlike many might expect, he started with a degree in English Education. He later earned two Master’s degrees—one in Public Administration and another in Criminology and Security.
He isn't just a local officer; he is a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, meaning he stays updated on global security trends.
