The Ayedero of Yorubaland and former member of the House of Representatives, Chief Shina Peller, has congratulated the newly appointed Inspector General of Police (IGP), Olatunji Ridwan Disu, describing his emergence as a transformative milestone for the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
In a congratulatory message shared with journalists on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, chief Peller stated that IGP Disu’s appointment came at a critical juncture in Nigeria’s history, signaling a shift toward modern, intelligence-led policing and institutional integrity.
Chief Peller, a prominent advocate for youth inclusion and national security reform, noted that the choice of IGP Disu reflected a deliberate move by the current administration to prioritize technical expertise and a proven track record of excellence.
“Your well-known record of accountability and professionalism truly reflects the spirit of a New Era in the Nigeria Police Force,” the statement read. “Having you at the helm at this time reassures many that a new standard of discipline, transparency, and excellence is not only possible but achievable.”
“IGP Disu, who was recently ratified by the Nigeria Police Council and has served in various high-pressure roles, including Commander of the Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and head of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT), is widely regarded as a “scholar-policeman.”
The Ayedero of Yorubaland further urged the new Police Chief to lead with a philosophy rooted in human rights and community partnership, stating:
“As you take up this important role, may your leadership be marked by wisdom, integrity, and fairness. May you inspire the Nigeria Police Force to greater professionalism, uphold justice, and foster trust across the country.”
“I wish you strength, divine guidance, and outstanding success in this new chapter of service, Egbon mi (my elder brother). Amen,” Peller concluded.
