Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu did more than pay a visit to #TheGoodGuys headquarters, the squad he left over five years ago, as he reconnected with the team he once commanded.
The IGP’s first port of call was the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), where he was received by the resourceful Executive Secretary, Dr. Ayodele Ogunsan. Ogunsan commended the IGP for his bold reforms and efforts at strengthening police-civilian relations
.
At the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), the visit provided an opportunity to reconnect with officers and personnel with whom he built #TheGoodGuys and other notable legacies. CSP Shola Jejeloye praised Disu for demonstrating good leadership.
Members of the Lagos State Governor’s Correspondents, with whom he had established a strong working relationship, also engaged with the IGP. The group’s chairman and other key members praised him for his exemplary leadership during his tenure as Commander and in his current role as Inspector-General.
Also taking advantage of the visit to Lagos, IGP Disu, accompanied by the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Olohundare Moshood Jimoh, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Tijani Fatai, Chairman of the Lagos State Taskforce, Tayo Akerele and DPO Ikeja, CSP Akinwunmi Oke among other officers unwound with members of the Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria (CRAN).
The visit culminated in a state banquet held in honour of the Inspector-General of Police by the Lagos State Government.
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in a post on his social media handle, summed up the significance of the event.
He said: “There is something inspiring about seeing one of ours rise through the ranks with discipline and a clear commitment to service.
Long before the world knew him as IGP, Lagos knew him. The streets of this city shaped him. The lecture halls of the Lagos State University refined him, and the communities of Lagos Island, where he was born, taught him early lessons about life, responsibility, and service.”
He continued: “From his time leading the Rapid Response Squad in Lagos, where he strengthened security and built public confidence, to his national assignments, he has consistently shown what dedication and excellence look like.
His journey reminds us that greatness comes from hard work, integrity, and service. Lagos does not just raise dreamers; we raise people who lead and build.”
Sanwo-Olu added: “Tonight was a celebration of service and the Lagos spirit. We are proud, proud that the values he carries to the Force Headquarters were shaped here and proud that he continues to represent us with discipline and honour.
