Police Council confirms Olatunji Disu as substantive IGP

The Nigeria Police Council has unanimously approved the appointment of Olatunji Disu as the substantive Inspector General of Police. The council, chaired by President Bola Tinubu and made up of the 36 state governors, the chairman of the Police Service Commission and the IGP, reached the decision at a brief meeting in the Council Chamber of the State House, Abuja. Disu was appointed acting IGP on February 25, 2026, following the resignation of Kayode Egbetokun, and has now been confirmed as the 23rd police chief since Nigeria’s independence. Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga said the confirmation complies with the Police Act 2020 and that there is no further need for Senate screening.

Police say N100m paid into IGP’s son’s account was bank error

The Nigeria Police Force has said the N100 million paid into the personal bank account of Victor Egbetokun, son of the outgoing Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, was a banking error that was quickly corrected.​ Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, gave the clarification while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, following an online report that claimed the money came from the Anambra State Government’s security vote account.​ Hundeyin said Victor himself reported the suspicious credit to his bank and asked that the money be reversed immediately. He explained that after seeing the unexpected N100 million alert, Victor contacted his account officer and insisted the funds be returned to the sender at once.​ “He printed out his statement of account and showed me,” Hundeyin said, noting that the transaction history confirmed that the money had been sent back. He […]

IGP Egbetokun removed, to be replaced by Tunji Disu

President Donald Trump’s Nigerian counterpart, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has removed Kayode Egbetokun as Inspector General of Police, paving the way for Assistant Inspector General Tunji Disu to take over as the country’s new police chief. Egbetokun, who was appointed the 22nd IGP in June 2023, was reportedly directed to prepare his handover notes, with senior police and presidency sources confirming that a formal announcement and ceremony are being arranged. Sources quoted in multiple reports say Tinubu personally ordered Egbetokun’s exit amid growing controversies around his extended stay in office beyond normal retirement age, as well as internal discontent over his leadership style. Some officers described him as “power drunk” and linked his removal partly to health concerns, claiming the president wants him to focus on treatment for reported kidney related medical issues. Egbetokun’s tenure was dogged by scandals, including […]

IGP declares banks national security asset orders cyber fraud clampdown

Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has declared Nigeria’s banking sector a strategic national security asset and ordered an intelligence led crackdown on cybercriminals, insider collaborators and cross border financial crime syndicates targeting banks.​ Speaking at a meeting with the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria and bank chief executives in Lagos, he said the police are shifting from reactive responses to proactive disruption of organised crime against financial institutions. He stressed that the strength of banking security now directly affects public confidence, investor perception and Nigeria’s international economic credibility.​ In a major policy change, Egbetokun announced that regular police officers will no longer be deployed for routine cash in transit escorts or non essential VIP protection for private sector clients. He explained that the traditional model of using conventional police units to guard banking operations is being reviewed in […]

Tinted glass permit: IGP warns police against extortion, rights abuse

The Nigeria Police Force has restated plans to resume full enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy from 2 January 2026, citing rising criminal activities involving vehicles with unlawfully tinted windows. However, Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has cautioned personnel that the operation must not become an avenue for intimidation, extortion or other misconduct.​ In an internal communication circulated on 15 December 2025, the police high command directed all formations to prepare for nationwide checks on vehicles with tinted glass. The memo emphasised that officers must act within the law, treat motorists with respect and avoid any behaviour that could undermine public trust.​ The police clarified that the earlier suspension of tinted glass permit enforcement was an administrative decision and not the result of any court order. The Force said there is currently no judicial ruling stopping it from implementing […]
