The Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria (MUSWEN) has congratulated the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, on his appointment and assumption of office.
A statement by its President, Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo and Executive Secretary, Prof Wole Abbas, said Disu’s elevation by President Bola Tinubu, is a testament to his decades of dedicated service, professionalism, and track record in strategic roles in the force, including his leadership in critical operations and commands.
MUSWEN said: “We see in his appointment as an opportunity to strengthen internal security architecture and restore greater public confidence in the Police.
“We recognise the challenges confronting our nation, particularly the persistent insecurity manifesting in banditry, kidnapping, communal clashes, cultism, and other crimes that threaten life, property, and peaceful co-existence—especially in our region and in the country.

We urge the IGP to prioritise community policing initiatives, foster closer collaboration between security agencies and local communities, including faith-based organisations, traditional institutions, and youth groups; address insecurity in Southwest, with attention to kidnapping on highways, farmer-herder conflicts, urban violence, and threats that undermine economic activities and social harmony; strengthen discipline, welfare, and capacity building in the force to boost morale, reduce corruption, and equip officers with modern tools, training, and technology for effective, intelligence-led policing, among others.
“Ensuring impartiality, professionalism, and respect for human rights in all operations, while upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of all citizens irrespective of faith, ethnicity, or background.”
MUSWEN pledged its full support and cooperation to the IGP and the Nigeria Police Force in the collective effort to secure lives and property.
It called on “all Muslims in the South West—and indeed all Nigerians—to rally behind the security agencies through credible information sharing, prayers, and active citizenship. We pray that Allah should grant IGP Disu wisdom, good health, courage, and success in discharging his duties.
“May his leadership mark a turning point in the fight against insecurity and usher in an era of lasting peace, stability, and progress for our dear nation.”
