 Tunji Disu, Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police (IGP), has urged global law enforcement leaders to ensure that technological innovations strengthen public trust, transparency and human rights

Disu made the call while addressing the Fifth United Nations Chiefs of Police Summit (UNCOPS 2026) on Innovation and New Technologies in UN Policing on Wednesday.The Nigeria’s police chief warned that embracing technological advancement should never diminish the confidence citizens place in policing institutions.

“Technology can enhance policing but it can never replace public trust. The legitimacy of every police institution rests on the confidence of the people it serves,” he said.
