President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday sworn in Olatunji Disu as the substantive Inspector-General of Police at a ceremony held at the Council Chambers, State House, Abuja.

Disu took the oath of office at 2:53 pm, following the reading of his citation by the State House Director of Information and Public Relations, Mr. Abiodun Oladunjoye. 

The ceremony which preceded the commencement of the Federal Executive Council meeting was witnessed by Vice President Kashim Shettima, cabinet members, and other dignitaries.

Disu’s confirmation as substantive IGP follows the unanimous endorsement of his appointment by the Nigeria Police Council on Monday.

Immediately after Disu’s swearing-in, the President also swore in newly appointed commissioners of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission and the Federal Civil Service Commission between. 

The FCSC officials include Prof. Ngbea Gabriel (Benue) and Omoregie Idahagbon (Edo). 

RMAFC commissioners were Abubakar Wamakko (Sokoto), Sen. Marafa Abba (Taraba), Ahmed Waziri (Adamawa), Hadizatu Mustapha (Borno), Helen Bob (Bayelsa) and Oladele Gboyega (Osun). 

The swearing-in ceremony took place at the Council Chambers, State House, Abuja, shortly before the Federal Executive Council meeting, the first for the year.

Disu, 59, was born on April 13, 1966, in Lagos State and joined the Nigeria Police Force on May 18, 1992, as a Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police.

He holds multiple qualifications in public administration, forensic investigation, criminology, security, legal psychology, and entrepreneurship.

Prior to his appointment, Disu served as Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of the Special Protection Unit and the Force CID Annex in Lagos.

Like his predecessor, Disu served under President Tinubu during his tenure as Lagos State Governor from 1999 to 2007. While Egbetokun was the Chief Security Officer, Disu served as Aide-de-Camp.
