You're spot on, Disu must've shown real loyalty and skill for Obasanjo to publicly praise him.

The fact that IGP Disu is credited here shows the complexity of loyalty within military regimes, even at personal risk for officers.

I doubt Disu's motivations were purely altruistic; there might have been political bargaining behind the scenes rather than just heroic duty.
