The former Commander of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of Lagos State Police Command and a Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Olatunji Disu, has made Nigeria and the police force proud by winning a silver medal at the US 33rd Open Judo Championship.
DCP Disu is currently the Head of the elite Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Squad (IRT), headquartered in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). He took over from DCP Abba Kyari
Disu’s tenure witnessed the enthronement of strict professionalism in the RRS, transforming it into a highly responsible and responsive unit, which also enjoyed the trust and cooperation of the public.
DCP Disu was born on April 17, 1960. He is better known as Tunji Disu “TJ”.

Olatunji Disu was first appointed to lead the security outfit on June 13, 2015, during the tenure of former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, and they have been nothing but exceptional policing with a human face.
