Published

Acting Inspector General of Police Tunji Disu has pledged to lead a police force that respects human rights and rejects misconduct.

He spoke on Wednesday shortly after he was sworn in by President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.

His appointment came a day after the resignation of former Inspector General Kayode Egbetokun.

Disu said his emergence was unexpected and expressed gratitude to the president for finding him worthy of the position.

He said the recognition of his past assignments and achievements by the president moved him deeply and also placed a heavy responsibility on him to deliver results.

According to him, his leadership will focus on discipline, proper training and better welfare for officers.

He said police personnel must understand that citizens are their employers and that no police force can succeed without public support. He added that motivated officers are more likely to give their best in service.

The new police boss stated that misconduct within the force would not be tolerated. He said he would make it clear to officers that unlawful actions and abuse of power would no longer be accepted. He also said he plans to enforce strict measures against corruption within the force.

He said: “My top priority? I like one of the first lectures I’m going to have with my men. I’m going to talk to them, let them know that the citizens of the country are the boss.

“It’s very, very important for them to know that no police anywhere in the world can succeed without the cooperation of members of the public.

“I’m going to ensure that I take their welfare into consideration, because people who are motivated put in their best.

“I will let them know that the era of impunity is over. I will ensure that I train them and encourage them to ensure they follow human rights.

“I will try to follow a regime of zero tolerance to corruption.

“The country is facing a particular problem now, issue of insurgency. I know all police officers around have been doing their best. All I need to do is to channel their morale and their thoughts to make things better.”
