Abba Kyari: IGP Appoints Disu As New Head Of IRT

The fate of Abba Kyari in the Nigerian Police was dimmer on Monday after the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, appointed DCP Tunji Disu as the new Head of the Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT).

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that Disu is to take over from Abba Kyari, who was suspended upon his indictment of colluding with convicted fraudster, Hushpuppi.

Force spokesman, Frank Mba, a commissioner of police announced the appointment of Disu to replace Abba Kyari in a statement on Monday.

The statement read, “The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, psc (+), NPM, fdc has today, 2nd August, 2021 approved the posting of DCP Tunji Disu as the new Head of the Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT).

“The posting of the officer is on the heels of Management’s decision to fill the leadership gap within the IRT and refocus the Unit for better service delivery,” the police spokesman said in apparent reference to the earlier suspension placed on Abba Kyari.

“The IGP has charged the new Head of the IRT to demonstrate his professional competence in his leadership of the Unit. He also assured citizens that the IRT will remain focused in the discharge of its duties in line with national statutes and international best practices.”

Prior to his appointment to replace Abba Kyari as the Head of the IRT, DCP Tunji Disu, a former Commander of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) Lagos State, was the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Department of Operations, Force Headquarters, Abuja.

He had also previously served at the State CID, Rivers State as the Deputy Head of the Unit. He was also a former Commander of the Nigeria Police Contingent to the African Union (AU) Peace Keeping Mission in Dafur, Sudan.

Disu holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the Lagos State University (LASU) and a Masters Degree in Public Administration from the Adekunle Ajasin University, Ondo State.

With this development, it is telling that Abba Kyari would not be returning to his former job.
