In a statement, presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga said President Tinubu accepted Egbetokun’s resignation after he submitted a letter citing pressing family reasons.

Disu previously served as Assistant Inspector-General in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Alagbon, Lagos, and was promoted to the rank last year.

Before that, he was Commissioner of Police in Rivers State and later served as Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja.
