IGP DISU DEPLOYS DIGs TO GEOPOLITICAL ZONES, ORDERS INTER-STATE PATROLS
TO STRENGTHEN NATIONAL SECURITY
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc(+), NPM, has approved the deployment of Deputy Inspectors-General of Police (DIGs) to their respective geopolitical zones with effect from Monday, 15th June 2026, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen operational effectiveness, improve supervision, and enhance security coordination across the country.
The deployment, announced during the monthly conference with strategic senior officers of the Nigeria Police Force at Force Headquarters, Abuja, is aimed at bringing strategic leadership closer to the field, strengthening accountability, and ensuring prompt response to emerging security threats. The DIGs are expected to work closely with Assistant Inspectors-General of Police and Commissioners of Police to enhance operational oversight and ensure the effective implementation of policing directives.
In furtherance of this objective, the Inspector-General of Police also directed all Commissioners of Police nationwide to immediately establish coordinated inter-state security operations tagged "Handshake Patrols" with their counterparts in neighbouring states. The initiative is designed to strengthen intelligence sharing, improve operational communication, and facilitate joint responses to crimes that cut across state boundaries.
The IGP noted that criminals often exploit jurisdictional gaps by committing offences in one state and escaping into another. He therefore charged Commissioners of Police to maintain regular engagement with neighbouring Commands, conduct coordinated patrols along major entry and exit routes, and adopt a regional approach to addressing security challenges.
The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to intelligence-led policing, strategic coordination, and inter-agency collaboration aimed at protecting lives and property and enhancing public safety across the country.
