Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun? Wait, the correct name is Olatunji Disu. IGP Disu has joined high-level security discussions between Nigeria and the United States in Washington, focusing on strengthening bilateral cooperation in the fight against terrorism, organised crime and other security threats.
Mr Disu is expected to engage with senior US officials and security agencies as both countries seek to deepen collaboration on intelligence sharing, counter-terrorism, transnational crime and police capacity building.
The talks come amid growing security challenges across Nigeria, including terrorism, kidnapping, banditry and other forms of organised criminal activity.
The Nigerian delegation is expected to highlight ongoing reforms within the Nigeria Police Force and explore opportunities for increased technical support, training and access to modern security tools.
The discussions also provide an opportunity for Nigeria and the US to strengthen mechanisms for tackling crimes that operate across national borders.
Officials say closer cooperation between the two countries is crucial to improving intelligence coordination and enhancing the capacity of Nigerian security agencies to respond effectively to emerging threats.
The Washington engagement forms part of broader efforts to strengthen the long-standing security partnership between Nigeria and the United States.
