Nigeria’s Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has reportedly been replaced as Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police, with Assistant Inspector-General (AIG) Olatunji Rilwan Disu taking over the top position, a presidency source stated on Tuesday.
The source confirmed the development, stating that an official announcement would be made shortly. “AIG Tunji Disu is the new IGP. Confirmed,” the source said, adding that the information had received “double confirmation.”
A Facebook user, Sheriffdeen Ojon Omo Eko posted on his wall that Olatunji Disu is 59, and from Lagos Island.
Efforts to obtain a reaction from the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), Benjamin Hundeyin, were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.
More details surrounding the leadership change are expected to be released from presidency soon.
