Acting Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu has reportedly redeployed ACP Bukola Yemisi Kuti from her role as PSO2 to former IGP Kayode Egbetokun to NIPSS in Kuru, a move said to be generating debate within the Force.

The Acting Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has reportedly removed ACP Bukola Yemisi Kuti from her position as Principal Staff Officer 2 (PSO2) to former Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun and redeployed her to the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) in Kuru. Multiple sources within the police hierarchy confirmed that the redeployment took immediate effect and has sparked discussions among senior officers and rank-and-file personnel.

According to a senior police source familiar with the development, “The Acting IGP has removed ACP Bukola Kuti as PSO2 to the former IGP and redeployed her to NIPSS in Kuru.” Another source added, “In a move already generating intense discussion, the Acting Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, has reportedly removed ACP Bukola Kuti from her position as PSO2 to the former IGP, Kayode Egbetokun and redeployed her to the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) in Kuru.”

ACP Kuti had served in the sensitive role of PSO2 to the former IGP, a position regarded as highly influential within the Nigeria Police Force.
