BREAKING: FCT Police Commissioner Tunji Disu’s son dies in road accident

Tragedy has struck the family of Olatunji Disu, the Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), following the loss of his son in a horrific car accident on Monday.

 

Although the circumstances of the accident that led to the young man’s death still remain hazy, reports sourced from Sahara Reporters which broke the story say family sources have described the loss as heartbreaking.

 

 

The report did not indicate when and where the fatal accident occurred and the circumstances surrounding it.

 

The family is also yet to issue any statement.

 

Disu recently assumed leadership of the FCT Police Command.

 

The news of his son’s demise has sparked an outpouring of condolences from colleagues, friends, and the general public.

 

 

Disu on Monday paid a condolence visit to CSP A.A. Sambo, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ushafa Division, who tragically lost his son.

 

During the visit, CP Disu expressed heartfelt sympathies and assured CSP Sambo and his family of the Command’s unwavering support during this difficult time.

 

Apparently the crash has not occurred as at the time of the condolence visit.

 

In the early days of his career, Disu had served as DPO in Ago Iwoye (Ogun State), Ikare (Ondo State), Owo (Ondo State), Elimbu and Elelenwo, in Rivers State.

 

He was also Officer in Charge of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and anti-kidnapping in Rivers State, Ondo and Oyo as well as second in command (2IC) State Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Rivers States.

 

He served as the commander of the Lagos State Rapid Respond Squad (RRS) between June 2015 and August 2021.

 

A member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and the former head of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Police Force in Nigeria, the position previously held by the disgraced Abba Kyari, Disu was also the Principal Staff Officer to the then acting Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun before his confirmation as substantive IG.
