Nigeria's police chief restructures internal monitoring unit and installs new head

Tuesday, 21 April 2026, 00:06 · 1 min read

Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu has ordered a sweeping overhaul of the Nigeria Police Force Monitoring Unit, appointing Deputy Commissioner of Police Aliyu Abubakar to lead the reformed body. The restructuring, announced Monday, is intended to close operational gaps and sharpen the unit's role in real-time oversight of personnel and operations across commands nationwide, including through intelligence-led inspections. It is the second such reform in two years — the unit was previously restructured in August 2023 — and reflects ongoing pressure on Nigeria's police leadership to improve internal accountability following years of public criticism over misconduct.
