IGP Disu Orders Nationwide Arms Audit After Delta Police Shooting

The Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu, has directed Commissioners in every state to conduct a thorough, transparent audit of arms and ammunition. Detailed reports must be submitted to Force Headquarters within a set timeframe to strengthen accountability and prevent misuse. This follows a viral video from Delta State in which officers shot a handcuffed man. Four officers, led by ASP Nuhu Usman, were dismissed and their case files forwarded for criminal prosecution. Disu condemned the act as unlawful and vowed full accountability. He also announced the creation of a Violent Crime Response Unit with built-in civilian oversight and called for improved community policing. Residents are urged to volunteer information, and police are required to share direct contact lines with local leaders. Psychological evaluation and professional ethics training will accompany any officer transfers.
