In a heartbreaking turn of events, tragedy has struck the family of Olatunji Disu, the newly appointed Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), as his son tragically lost his life in a ghastly car accident on Monday.
The devastating incident has plunged the Disu family into profound grief, with emotions running high as the circumstances surrounding the fatal accident remain unclear. Family sources have described the young man’s untimely death as a heartbreaking and irreparable loss.
Olatunji Disu, who recently assumed leadership of the FCT Police Command, is no stranger to the demands of law enforcement, but this personal tragedy has cast a dark shadow over his tenure.
The announcement, first shared by Sahara Reporters via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, has elicited a wave of condolences from across the country. Colleagues, friends, and members of the public have flooded social media with heartfelt messages, offering prayers and strength to the grieving family during this difficult time.
Adding to the sorrowful chain of events, CP Disu himself had earlier on Monday paid a condolence visit to CSP A.A. Sambo, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ushafa Division, who also recently lost his son. In an emotional gesture of solidarity, Disu offered his sympathies to the Sambo family, reassuring them of the FCT Police Command’s unwavering support.
This tragic coincidence underscores the fragility of life, leaving many to reflect on the importance of compassion and unity in times of loss.
As the public mourns with the Disu family, this heart-rending incident serves as a poignant reminder of the shared humanity that binds us all, even in the face of unimaginable grief.
