IGP Tunji Disu says state police is inevitable and that the Nigeria Police Force will actively support its implementation as a collaborative reform.
Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu has declared that state police “has come to stay,” affirming the readiness of the Nigeria Police Force to support its establishment. Speaking after his swearing-in as the 23rd IGP in Abuja, Disu described the initiative as a partnership rather than a threat to existing structures.
“The committee was set up early this morning to look into the issue of state police from the angle of the Nigerian police,” he said. “We want to ensure that the best thing is done… The police are not afraid, our jobs are not being taken.” President Bola Tinubu has urged constitutional amendments to enable the reform.
