The newly appointed Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, has arrived at the Presidential Villa.
Bellnews reports that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to decorate him with his new rank.
He arrived alongside his family members for his decoration to the new rank of the Inspector-General General.
Disu, until his appointment on Tuesday, was an Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG in-charge of Force Criminal Investigation Department, FCID, Alagbon.
In compliance with the provisions of the Police Act 2020, President Tinubu will convene a meeting of the Nigeria Police Council shortly to formally consider the appointment of AIG Disu as substantive Inspector-General of Police, after which his name will be transmitted to the Senate for confirmation.

President Tinubu received Mr Egbetokun’s resignation earlier and expressed his profound appreciation for his decades of distinguished service to the Nigeria Police Force and the nation.
The President acknowledged his dedication, professionalism, and steadfast commitment to strengthening internal security architecture during his tenure.
The President expressed confidence that AIG Disu’s experience, operational depth, and demonstrated leadership capacity will provide steady and focused direction for the Nigeria Police Force during this critical period.
