For all of the hardship he has caused nigerians, nothing he does now will be able to fix it. Obviously, he is not going to fix the refineries not provide steady power supply. So he is doomed. The only way out for him is to rig it as he did before

ogolemati:

Ogurube:
Change the dirty uniforms to look cleaner, smarter, and well equipped. We need to stop chasing shadows.

IGP Disu, please etch your name in the sand of times by ensuring that every policeman properly identifies himself with a name tag and proper uniform before asking for car papers.

In Onitsha around upper iweka, the police men there are hoodlums who kidnap motorists and extort them.

Benin policemen are also very notorious for human rights abuses..

Buy glasses that can take pictures. Do not snap with your phone lest they smash your phone in the ground

I have declared that, I will never give my car papers to any policeman who is not properly dressed without name tags and service numbers.

If you try to intimidate me without meeting these conditions, I will record your face and send the images to cloud immediately.

If you want to scrutinize me, I must be able to properly identify you and the police formation you are attached to.

It is well, with them

I hope this man knows what he's doing
Given Nigeria's dire security situation, I think we need more tactical and special units with adequate armaments than normal police duties
The Police need to expand not streamline
As for the part of promotion, it reeks more of vendetta either from Sowore or the new IG but if true, it sites the folly of keeping a man in office after his tenure is over. What eventually happens is that the occupant goes rogue and start chasing his personal goals knowing fully well that he's on borrowed time. It usually ends up breeding indiscipline which may be difficult to curb in the long run
Buhari started this bad idea of illegally elongating tenure of force chiefs during the Buratai era and unfortunately Tinubu also is towing same path
I don't know why APC is hell bent in breeding indiscipline among our forces instead of professionalising them further
APC is synonymous with incompetence and divisiveness

At the end of the day, what is the benefit of keeping Egbetokun the former IG longer than necessary?

A man who has completed his official tenure should be allowed to go home peacefully!

Affected units reportedly include Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Anti-Cultism, Anti-Kidnapping, Scorpion Squad, Tactical Intelligence Response Squad (TIRS), Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT), Monitoring Units, Tiger Squad, Gender Units, Anti-Robbery squads, among others.


There is disquiet within the Nigeria Police Force following an order by Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tunji Disu directing the immediate dissolution of multiple tactical units operating across commands nationwide.

Affected units reportedly include Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Anti-Cultism, Anti-Kidnapping, Scorpion Squad, Tactical Intelligence Response Squad (TIRS), Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT), Monitoring Units, Tiger Squad, Gender Units, Anti-Robbery squads, among others.


The directive, communicated through an internal wireless message obtained by SaharaReporters, was issued after a recent virtual meeting between senior police officers and the IGP.

According to the message, all existing tactical teams at the command, area command, and divisional levels, regardless of their operational names, have been ordered dissolved with immediate effect.

“Following the IGP’s directives at the just concluded Zoom meeting with Commissioners of Police and above, all existing tactical teams at commands are being reformed into two, with operational names to be provided by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Operations,” the message read in part.


The signal further specified that units such as “Lion, Tiger, Scorpion squads and others by whatever names called” are no longer to operate in their current form.

Under the new arrangement, only area commands and divisional surveillance units are permitted to function temporarily, pending further directives.

Personnel from the disbanded units are to be redeployed into conventional policing structures, including patrol and guard duties, the Divisional Crime Branch (DCB), Juvenile and Women Centre (JWC), and general beat assignments.

“The dissolved teams are to be subsumed into patrol and guard, DCB, JWC and beat with immediate effect,” the directive added.

The police hierarchy also indicated that further details regarding the restructuring would be unveiled during the end-of-month Officers’ Conference scheduled for March 26, 2026.

While the rationale behind the sweeping reform was not explicitly stated, the move comes amid longstanding public concerns over the conduct of certain tactical units, many of which have been accused of human rights abuses, extortion, and extrajudicial operations.

This is coming a few days after the IGP ordered a special resit promotion examination and interactive session for senior officers who were reportedly overlooked in previous cycles.

A confidential police wireless message obtained by SaharaReporters, dated March 16, 2026, shows that the Police Service Commission (PSC) has rescheduled the exercise for Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs), Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs), Chief Superintendents of Police (CSPs), and Superintendents of Police (SPs) who were “not successful” in the December 2025 and March 2026 promotion cycles.

Insiders had told SaharaReporters on Wednesday that the affected officers were allegedly sidelined by a sophisticated bribery scheme orchestrated during the tenure of former IGP Kayode Egbetokun.

According to sources, Egbetokun’s leadership, with the alleged complicity of senior PSC officials, systematically blocked deserving officers from promotions while advancing junior officers who paid large bribes, effectively stalling the careers of senior personnel.

The current IGP is reportedly moving to "reconsider and rectify" these injustices by providing a transparent window for the sidelined officers to earn their next ranks.

The signal, issued by Nigeria Police Force Secretary, directs all commands to release the affected officers to attend the interview as scheduled. To ensure the integrity of the process, the officers are "strongly advised to refresh their memories" in core areas including professional studies, law, and local acts.

The IGP has also ordered a high-security detail for the exercise.

The AIGPOL MOPOL is required to provide "twelve (12) neatly turned-out armed men for escort duty," while the transport wing (TRANSFOR) is to provide "two (2) serviceable Hilux vans" to be placed on standby at the FHQ Parade Ground by 06:00 HRS.

Berankis:
What are you really saying?

phemray:
The guy is trying to reduce the corruption in the special units and the entire force. When u make some units so special, it's always an avenue for making money by those officers to the point of lobby to be posted to such units. It happens in most Nigeria security forces.
