The confirmation underscores the commitment of the Federal Government to ensuring continuity and stability within the country\u2019s law enforcement architecture. Observers note that the transition was handled smoothly, reflecting institutional maturity within the policing system.
As the 23rd Inspector-General of Police, Disu is expected to consolidate ongoing reforms, strengthen intelligence-driven policing, and enhance public trust in the Force while addressing Nigeria\u2019s complex security challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
