The new Commissioner of Police deployed to Rivers State, Mr. Tunji Disu, has resumed in the state.
Disu resumed today as the 45th Commissioner of Police in State and replacing the outgone CP, Mr. Nwonyi Emeka, who was redeployed to the Force Headquarters.
Disu expressed his readiness to work closely with the people of the state to ensure effective policing of the state.
The CP who spoke on arrival at the Police Headquarters, Moscow Road, Port Harcourt, after inspection of the guard of honour, said he is used to Rivers State terrain.
He said;
I know the terrain. I will work with the people, partner with the people, together we will succeed
The Commissioner of Police, who was received by the senior officers took a tour of the premises and departments of the command.
However, just before his recent deployment, the new Rivers CP was the Commander, Lagos Rapid Response Squad and later Headed the IGP’s Intelligence Response Team
The new commissioner of Police also has an added advantage of being in familiar territory.
He has worked in Rivers State before as head of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad, a Divisional Police Officer twice, Commander Special Anti-Robbery
Squad, and Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigations Department.
Having served in various units across at least 5 states, there is high expectation of a new lease of life to policing in Rivers State.
