BREAKING: Tinubu decorates Tunji Disu as acting IGP at Aso Rock
President Bola Tinubu has decorated Tunji Disu with his new rank as the Acting Inspector-General of Police at the State House, Abuja.
Very Nigerian gathered that the brief ceremony took place at about 4pm inside the President’s office at the Presidential Villa.
Top government officials who witnessed the event included the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, and the immediate past Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.
Disu’s appointment came just 48 days before his scheduled retirement on April 13, 2026, when he would have reached the mandatory retirement age of 60 years.
However, under the amended Police Act, which allows Inspectors-General of Police to serve a four-year tenure regardless of age, Disu may remain in office until 2030.
Tinubu, who pinned the new insignia on Disu’s uniform, commended the outgoing IGP Egbetokun for his service to the nation.
The ceremony comes barely 24 hours after Egbetokun submitted his resignation letter to the President on Tuesday, citing family issues that require his undivided attention.
