The Acting Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, has arrived at the State House, Abuja, for his official decoration ceremony.
Disu was seen entering the Presidential Villa at about 3 p.m., ahead of the event where he is expected to be formally adorned with his new rank.
His appointment follows the resignation of former Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, whose departure from office was confirmed by the Presidency on Tuesday.
In a statement issued the same day, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said President Bola Tinubu accepted Egbetokun’s resignation after he submitted a letter citing pressing family reasons.
Until his appointment, Disu served as Assistant Inspector-General in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department, FCID, Annex, Alagbon, Lagos. He was promoted to the rank of Assistant Inspector-General of Police last year.
