He is coming into office with the weight of expectations based on his exemplary record in service,\u201d Badejo said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The APC chieftain, who is also an alumnus of Lagos State University (LASU), described Disu as a tested and trusted officer who has consistently demonstrated competence throughout his career.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to him, the new IGP\u2019s rise to the top position in the force is not accidental.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHe has proved his mettle over the years. His rise to the highest office in the force is not by accident, as he has recorded notable successes in every command where he has served,\u201d Badejo stated.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He added that Disu\u2019s early entry into the officer corps placed him on a strong leadership trajectory and exposed him to critical aspects of policing.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHis early years in the force introduced him to criminal investigation, intelligence gathering and operational policing, which helped shape his leadership capacity,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Badejo also recalled Disu\u2019s leadership of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) in Lagos in 2015, noting that the role further sharpened his operational experience.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHis headship of the Rapid Response Squad in Lagos strengthened his investigative experience and exposed him to complex criminal operations, as he led the tactical unit responsible for tackling armed robbery, kidnapping and other violent crimes in Nigeria\u2019s largest city,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He further highlighted Disu\u2019s tenure as Commissioner of Police in Rivers State as one of the strongest demonstrations of his leadership capacity.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHis performance as Commissioner of Police in Rivers State remains one of the strongest testaments to his capacity. He restored law and order at a time when the state was confronted with serious security challenges and political tension,\u201d Badejo noted.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also recalled Disu\u2019s brief tenure as Commissioner of Police in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), where he said the officer left a legacy of purposeful leadership after his deployment from Rivers State.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">While congratulating the new police chief, Badejo urged him to remain steadfast and uphold the core values of his alma mater.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI urge him to remain steadfast and continue to uphold the tenets of Lagos State University \u2014 excellence, unblemished leadership and unwavering dedication to duty,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Disu was recently confirmed as the substantive Inspector-General of Police by the National Police Council following his appointment in an acting capacity by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu after the retirement of his predecessor.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lizzy Chirkpi An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain and community leader in Odogbolu Local Government Area of Ogun State, Otunba Adewale Abayomi Badejo, has described the appointment of Mr.&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84322,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-126057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
