Former RRS Commander Replaces Abba Kyari As Head Of Police Intelligence Team

The Inspector-General of Police, USMAN BABA, has named TUNJI DISU as head of the Intelligence Response Team— a unit once led by embattled DCP ABBA KYARI.

The Police Service Commission had suspended KYARI on the recommendation of the IGP over his alleged relationship with international fraudster, RAMON ABBAS, better known as HUSHPUPPI.

HUSHPUPPI had alleged that he bribed Kyari to arrest and jail “one of his rivals in Nigeria after a dispute over a $1.1 million scam on Qatari business people”.

But KYARI denied any wrongdoing, saying he never collected money from HUSHPUPPI.

In a statement, Force Spokesman, FRANK MBA said the appointment of DISU “is on the heels of management’s decision to fill the leadership gap within the IRT and refocus the unit for better service delivery”.

Prior to his appointment as the new Head of the IRT, DCP TUNJI DISU, a former Commander of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) Lagos State, was Deputy Commissioner of Police, Department of Operations, Force Headquarters, Abuja.
