IGP Disu Urges Nationwide Sensitisation on Environmental Crimes with NGO Partnership

The Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, has called for sustained national awareness campaigns to tackle environmental offences. During a courtesy visit from CRUX Environmental Rights Advocacy and Development, Disu highlighted how indiscriminate dumping and poor waste management fuel flooding and health hazards. He also raised concerns over wildlife depletion, illegal hunting, and vandalism by scavengers. Rather than creating a new unit, Disu said he will task Commissioners of Police to work with communities and civil defence agencies on sensitisation and reporting. CRUX proposed a framework for joint monitoring, capacity building and enforcement guided by existing constitutional and Police Act provisions.
