In a formal ceremony held at the State House in Abuja, President Bola Tinubu has decorated Tunji Disu with the rank of acting Inspector-General of Police. This event was attended by key figures including the National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume, and the former IGP Kayode Egbetokun. The significance of this appointment is highlighted by the fact that Disu's retirement is scheduled for April 13, 2026, as he approaches the mandatory age limit for service, yet he can serve until 2030 under the amended Police Act that permits a tenure extension.
