Just In: Former RRS Commander, Tunji Disu Promoted To CP Rank

The former Commander of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos Police Command, Olatunji Disu has been promoted to the elite rank of Commissioner of Police.

Disu served meritoriously as the RRS Commander, with his tenure in Lagos recording phenomenal improvement in the security architecture of the state.

He also rebranded the RRS to the #GoodGuys and ensured that officers adhered to international best policing ethics and practices.

He was subsequently redeployed to the Force Headquarters in Abuja.

About two years ago, Disu was appointed by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba as the new Commander of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Force Intelligence Bureau (FIB) following the removal of the former Commander, DCP Abba Kyari over alleged corrupt act.

At the FIB-IRT, Disu also displayed professionalism and discharged his duties dutifully, diligently and brilliantly.

BREAKING: Police Lists DCP Disu, 32 Other For CP Promotion

By The Guild Last updated Mar 28, 2023

The Nigerian Police Force (NPF) has listed the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) head, DCP Tunji Disu, and 32 others for promotion to Commissioner of Police in the country.

Disu and the 32 others were said to have been selected as the officers that were required to gain promotion for their selfless service to both the Command and humanity across the country.

Others listed for the promotion interview set to be conducted by the Police Service Commission (PSC) include Zubairu Abubakar, Godwin Eze, Clement Robert, Patrick Atayero, Nwonyi Emeka, Musibau Ajani, Tolani Alausa, and Abubakar Aliyu.

Others were: Zakaria Sanda, Audu Dabigi, Hayatu Ali, Garba Ahmed, Fasuba Akinyele, Emuobo Ekokotu, Gyogon Grimah, Olaiya Mobolaji, Chukwudi ChrisObaemi Adesanya and others.

A source at the Force headquarters in Abuja told The Guild on Monday night that the senior police officers would be made to face a panel of interviewers on Tuesday where they would be expected to explain better why they should be promoted to CP rank.

During the interview expected to start very early, he added that Disu, a former Commandant, the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), a Police formation under the Lagos Command, and other DCPs would be expected to justify their competence to fill the available CP vacuum at the Force headquarters.

According to him, except for major hitches, the senior policemen will be converging at the Force headquarters tomorrow before leaving for the PSC secretariat to participate in the promotion interview.

“All those going for the promotion interview especially Disu, merited the post considering their contribution to the protection of life and property across the country over the years”.

The promotion interview came barely two years after Disu was appointed by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Alkali Baba, as the Head of IRT, in order to ensure that law enforcement improves across the country.

Disu took over the mantle of leadership of the tactical team constituted to stem insecurity in Nigeria, following the suspension of the former head, Abba Kyari, after the United State security agency linked him to a $1.1 million fraud case perpetrated in Qatar by a suspected fraudster, Ramon Abbas popularly called Hushpuppi.

Baba approved Disu’s appointment to fill the gap within the unit and refocus the IRT for better service delivery, a role the senior police officer has performed effectively

The Police boss, while hinting that the deployment was with immediate effect, charged the new Head of the IRT to demonstrate his professional competence in his leadership of the Unit.

Before the new office, Disu was the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Department of Operations, Force Headquarters, Abuja, and had previously served at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for Rivers Command as the Deputy Head of the Unit.

Considering his dedication to 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.
