President Bola Tinubu has officially sworn in Olatunji Rilwan Disu as the 23rd substantive Inspector-General of Police (IGP) on Wednesday.
The ceremony took place at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa in Abuja, just before the first Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting of 2026.
The Disu took the oath of office shortly before the commencement of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.
The President also administered the oath of office to six commissioners of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) and two from the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC).
The ceremonies were witnessed by ministers, senior government officials, and family members of the appointees.
The council meeting began shortly after the swearing-in ceremonies.
In attendance were Vice President Kashim Shettima; the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume; the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu; and the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Esther Walson-Jack.
Disu was appointed as the acting IGP on February 25, 2026, by Tinubu, following the resignation of former IGP Kayode Egbetokun.
Disu was decorated as acting IGP by President Bola Tinubu in February, 2026.
His appointment was endorsed by the Nigeria Police Council (NPC).
The former Assistant Inspector-General assumed office last Wednesday.
He had previously served as AIG in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon, Lagos, after his promotion to the rank last year.
Disu, a former head of the Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS), has promised to provide an accountable, modern, and professional policing.
