Nigerians and security experts have set out an extensive reform agenda for the Acting Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, urging him to take bold and deliberate steps to reposition the Nigeria Police Force for greater efficiency and public confidence. Central to their recommendations is the need for strong leadership that promotes professionalism, discipline and accountability, while restoring trust between the police and the communities they serve.
A recurring theme in their submissions is the adoption of intelligence-led policing to replace overreliance on checkpoints and routine patrols. According to stakeholders, improved intelligence gathering and analysis would enable the Force to respond more strategically to emerging threats and dismantle criminal networks nationwide.
