President Bola Tinubu has decorated Tunji Disu with his new rank as Acting Inspector-General of Police at the State House, Abuja.
The ceremony, which took place at about 4 p.m. in the President’s office, was attended by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume; and the immediate past IGP, Kayode Egbetokun.
Disu’s appointment comes just 48 days before his scheduled retirement on April 13, 2026, when he would have attained the mandatory retirement age of 60. However, under the amended Police Act, which provides a four-year tenure for Inspectors-General of Police irrespective of age, Disu could remain in office until 2030.
President Tinubu, who personally pinned the new insignia on Disu’s uniform, commended the outgoing IGP, Egbetokun, for his service to the nation.
The development comes less than 24 hours after Egbetokun submitted his resignation letter to the President on Tuesday, citing family matters that require his full attention.
