The Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria (CRAN) has expressed appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for the appointment of AIG Tunji Disu as the new Inspector-General of Police (IGP) following the resignation of Kayode Egbetokun.<\/p>\n
While extending its heartfelt congratulations to AIG Disu on his appointment as IGP, CRAN commended the President for what it described as a strategic and well-considered decision, firmly anchored on merit, competence, and proven performance.<\/p>\n
The association stated that President Tinubu\u2019s decision reflects his confidence in IGP Disu\u2019s professionalism, integrity, and capacity to lead, and aligns with the urgent imperative to strengthen policing and internal security across the nation.<\/p>\n
According to a statement by the CRAN President, Olalekan Olabulo, \u201cIGP Disu\u2019s distinguished career exemplifies discipline, operational excellence, and an unwavering commitment to service.\u201d<\/p>\n
Olabulo said that as Commander of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) in Lagos, Disu implemented proactive, intelligence-driven crime-fighting initiatives that significantly enhanced public safety and operational responsiveness.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Head of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT), he coordinated complex and sensitive operations with tactical precision and professionalism.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis tenure as Commissioner of Police in Rivers State and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, further demonstrated exceptional administrative leadership, crisis management capabilities, and dedication to maintaining law and order in highly challenging environments.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon, Lagos, he strengthened investigative capacity, reinforced institutional discipline, and promoted professionalism across the Force,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n
The CRAN President further stressed that IGP Disu has participated in numerous specialised training programmes in Nigeria and abroad, covering areas such as small arms smuggling, internet fraud, forensic investigations, and strategic leadership.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese exposures have equipped him with the expertise required to confront emerging security threats, including terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, cybercrime, and organised criminal networks.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this critical juncture in Nigeria\u2019s security landscape, the Association recognises the magnitude of the mandate before the Inspector-General of Police.\u201d<\/p>\n
Olabulo said the Association anticipates a renewed emphasis on intelligence-led policing, strengthened collaboration with other security agencies, enhanced officers\u2019 welfare and discipline, expanded deployment of modern technology in crime detection and prevention, and unwavering adherence to the rule of law and respect for human rights.<\/p>\n
He added that the Association is confident that IGP Disu will leverage his extensive experience, strategic insight, and professionalism to reposition the Nigeria Police Force as a more efficient, accountable, and citizen-focused institution.<\/p>\n
