Deji Adeyanju Congratulates Acting IGP Olatunji Disu

Human Rights Activist and Lawyer  Dji Adeyanjy Esq, has pour out encomium on  the newly appointed Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, on his assumption of office. This appointment he said,  presents an opportunity to restore professionalism and discipline in the Nigeria Police Force.

In his words Adeyanju  said ” I call on the new IGP to make compliance with human rights the cornerstone of his leadership. The Police must reform its internal practices, end extortion and unlawful arrests, and stop the misuse of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition and  Prevention) Act to silence dissenting voices.

The IGP must also ensure full compliance with the President’s directive on the withdrawal of police personnel from VIP protection duties. The era of deploying police officers to VIPs, together with any unofficial financial arrangements associated with such deployments across commands, must be decisively brought to an end. Police officers must return to their core constitutional responsibility, which is policing.

Finally, the Nigeria Police Force must disengage frompurely civil disputes such as land matters, tenancy disagreements, and domestic issues, and instead focus squarely on combating armed robbery, kidnapping, terrorism, and organized criminal gangs.

It is only by reclaiming their primary mandate of internal security that the Nigeria Police Force can rebuild public confidence and once again become a source of national pride.
