FULL LIST: Tunji Disu Named CP of the Year in Nigeria Police Awards
Tunji Disu, the Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, has emerged as the Commissioner of Police of the Year at the inaugural Nigeria Police Awards and Commendation.
The prestigious event unfolded at the Congress Hall of Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, with dignitaries including Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano gracing the occasion.
Representing President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Shettima declared the first week of April as Police Week, with April 7th marked as National Police Day.
In a competitive field, Disu clinched the top honor, edging out contenders Danjuma Aboki of CP Imo Command and Augustina Ogbodo of CP Ebonyi Command.
Assuming the helm in Rivers in November 2023, Disu’s tenure saw significant achievements, notably the neutralization of Gift Okpara, alias “2Baba,” a suspected serial kidnapper linked to the murder of Divisional Police Officer Bako Angbashim in Ahoada.
