Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has returned to the Ago-Iwoye Police Division in Ogun State, where he served as a Divisional Police Officer several decades ago.
The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, disclosed the visit on Saturday in a post on X, accompanied by a video of Disu touring the police station.
Iniedu said Disu revisited the station where his policing career began and reflected on his early years in the Nigeria Police Force.
“From Ago Iwoye to Force HQ. From DPO to IGP.
IGP Olatunji Disu psc (+), NPM @TunjiDisu1 just walked back into his very first station, Ago Iwoye Division, Ogun State, decades after it all began.
“He stood in his old office.
He walked his former farm.
He stepped through the same residence where a young officer once dreamed of greatness.
“Then he dropped a question that hit different:
“Can you visit where you worked before?”
“This wasn’t nostalgia. This was an operational pilgrimage. A reminder that every giant was once a beginner. Every throne has a starting point.
“The journey of a thousand miles doesn’t begin with a step. It began at Ago-Iwoye.”
In the video, Disu said returning to the division was deeply emotional, noting that the station was where he first honed his leadership abilities as a DPO.
“It’s a very emotional one. This is my first police station. This is where I learned to be a DPO.
“This is the first time I was able to test my leadership ability. I remember when I was posted here. I’ve never been a DPO before.
“It’s emotional being here. I’ve just gone around to see my room. I’ve entered the office and I’ve looked around.
“I’m going to go around the streets. I know there’s an old woman in front of the police station. She used to sell things.
“She rears goats. The goats always come into our station. I remember Baba Aladji.
“Aladji was very old. I always say this. For everybody, not only police officers.
“Where you work, do well. The question is, can you go back to where you worked before?”
