Former Commissioner of Police in Niger State, Diseye Desire Nsirim, has died after a brief illness.
Nsirim died on Monday, September 21, 2026, at a hospital, according to the Niger State Police Command.
The late police officer, who was from Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, served as the 27th Commissioner of Police in Niger State from 2012 to 2014.
Her death was confirmed by the Niger State Police Command, which expressed condolences over the loss of the retired senior officer.
She was the first and, according to the command, the only female Commissioner of Police to have served in the state.
The command said that during her tenure, Nsirim contributed to crime prevention, public safety and the maintenance of law and order in the state.
It listed the dismantling of the Darul-Salam group in Mokwa and the busting of another terrorist group in Minna among her notable achievements as Commissioner of Police.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Niger State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Wasiu Abiodun, said the command’s current Commissioner of Police, Adamu Abdullahi Elleman, commiserated with Nsirim’s family, relatives, colleagues and associates.
Elleman described the late officer’s contributions to policing in Niger State and national security as significant.
He prayed for strength and fortitude for the family to bear the loss.
