The Nigeria Police Force has secured another major international milestone with the election of Commissioner of Police Olubode Ojajuni into the INTERPOL Africa Committee.
According to a press release signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Ojajuni emerged victorious in a keenly contested poll held during the 27th INTERPOL African Regional Conference in Cape Town, South Africa, earning Nigeria the fifth seat on the Committee for a two-year tenure.
The INTERPOL Africa Committee plays a crucial advisory role to the African Regional Conference, helping to define strategic crime priorities, facilitate sessions, strengthen cross-border police cooperation, and promote best practices for regional and continental security.
The development underscores Nigeria’s growing influence in global law enforcement, particularly in combating transnational crime, terrorism, and other emerging threats. With CP Ojajuni’s election, Nigeria is set to contribute significantly to shaping policing strategies under the INTERPOL framework.
Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, congratulated Ojajuni on the achievement, reaffirming the Force’s commitment to professionalism, integrity, and international collaboration. He pledged that the Nigeria Police will continue to engage actively with global partners in the pursuit of peace and security worldwide.
