‘Good intentions but why cash?’ — mixed reactions as Tunji Disu is offered $10k gift

 


Aloy Chife, an information technology expert, has promised Tunji Disu $10,000 on his appointment as head of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT).


Usman Alkali Baba, the inspector-general of police (IGP), had named Disu as head of the IRT following the suspension of Abba Kyari, who was popularly addressed as Nigeria’s super cop.

 

The Police Service Commission (PSC) had suspended Kyari on the recommendation of the IGP over his alleged relationship with Ramon Abbas, self-confessed international fraudster better known as Hushpuppi.

 

Hushpuppi had alleged that he bribed Kyari to arrest and jail “one of his rivals in Nigeria after a dispute over a $1.1 million scam on Qatari business people”.

Kyari initially denied any wrongdoing, saying he never collected money from Hushpuppi but later deleted the Facebook post.

 

Excited by Disu’s appointment, Chife took to his Twitter handle to extol and congratulate him.

 

He described Disu as a “ray of hope” after which he promised him a cash gift on behalf of Nigerians and their “hopes for a professional police”.


Chife had also said in an earlier tweet in January that Disu is his most preferred person to serve as the IGP.

 

“News: IGPappoints Tunji Disu Head, Police Intelligence Response Team. Disu rising. A ray of hope for Nigeria,” Chife wrote.

 

“Congrats! @TunjiDisu1

 

“I’ll be giving you $10k in the name of long-suffering young Nigerians as a slight token of their affection and hopes for a professional police.

 

 “There is no future for Nigeria unless it boasts a professional police service.

 

“Nations are built by a few good men in their chosen fields. And you, Mr Disu @TunjiDisu1 have an appointment with destiny.

 

“And we’re all desperate for your success.”


Chife’s gesture was followed by accolades for Disu as many Nigerians testified to his professionalism.

 

There were, however, some who expressed reservations about offering monetary incentives to Disu when a similar instance landed Kyari landed in trouble.
