The Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria (CRAN) has commended the recent redeployment of Commissioner of Police (CP) Tunji Disu to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command in Abuja. CRAN praised the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun for this strategic move, aligning with the IGP’s objective to optimize police resources and enhance security in the FCT.

CRAN emphasized that CP Disu’s prior experience with Abuja’s unique security landscape, notably from his time as Commander of the Intelligence Response Team, will significantly benefit FCT’s security operations. Known for his exemplary policing style during his tenure in Lagos State as Chairman of the Rapid Response Squad, Disu’s expertise is expected to bring proactive and effective crime management strategies to Abuja.

The association highlighted CP Disu’s recent accomplishments in Rivers State, where he earned public praise for his professional, impartial handling of security issues amid the state’s tense political climate. Under his leadership, the Rivers State Police Command was lauded for its efforts to maintain peace and security, showcasing his capability to manage complex security challenges.

CRAN expressed optimism that CP Disu’s leadership will strengthen security across the FCT, reinforcing the Nigeria Police Force’s dedication to protecting lives and property. His comprehensive knowledge of Abuja’s terrain and vast experience in law enforcement make him an ideal fit for this critical role.

In a statement signed by CRAN President Mr. Olalekan Olabulo, the association expressed confidence in Disu’s potential to drive positive change in Abuja’s security landscape and reaffirmed its support for his efforts to ensure a safer FCT. CRAN also praised IGP Egbetokun for his strategic decision, underscoring the importance of effective resource allocation to enhance national security.

CRAN looks forward to seeing the positive impact of CP Disu’s redeployment and extends its best wishes for his success in this new role.
