The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has appointed CP Olatunji Disu, as the new Commissioner of Police for Rivers Command, and seven other CPs.
In a signal already dispatched and sighted by Security Focus (SF), the appoitment of the new Commissioner of Police was in order to ensure efficiency in tackling violent crimes and policing system across the state.
The redeployment of Nwonyi Emeka from the Rivers State Police Command and the posting of Disu to the Command followed a political crisis that rocked the oil-rich South-South state last week
Egbetokun also charged the new CPs to demonstrate professional competence in their new offices they have been assigned to lead across the country.
Recall that Disu’s new appointment came barely seven months after he was promoted alongside 32 others from the rank of Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) to Commissioner of Police (CPs) and was subsequently appointed by the IGP as his principal staff, leading and coordinating the security team attached to the IGP’s office and others.
Prior before now, Disu was the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Department of Operations, Force Headquarters, Abuja, and previously served at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for Rivers Command as the Deputy Head of the Unit.
.
Considering his dedication to the duties assigned to him, Disu was appointed to lead the Nigeria Police Contingent to the African Union (AU) Peace Keeping Mission in Dafur, Sudan.
As gathered, Disu’s achievements over the years were some of the reasons the Lagos State Government requested his deployment to head RRS, in order to stem insecurity across the state.
