NIGERIA POLICE FORCE SECURES INTERPOL AFRICA COMMITTEE FIFTH SEAT AS CP OJAJUNI WINS ELECTION


The Nigeria Police Force has recorded another significant milestone on the international stage as Commissioner of Police Olubode Ojajuni emerged victorious in the keenly contested election for membership of the INTERPOL Africa Committee. The election, held during the 27th African Regional Conference in Cape Town, South Africa, secured for Nigeria the fifth seat on the Committee with a tenure of two years.


The INTERPOL Africa Committee is vested with the responsibility of advising the African Regional Conference in the execution of its mandate, facilitating its sessions, and identifying strategic crime priorities. It also strengthens police cooperation across borders, advances best practices, and develops projects aimed at enhancing regional and continental security.


This achievement reflects Nigeria’s growing influence and leadership in global law enforcement matters, particularly in the fight against transnational crime, terrorism, and other emerging threats. With CP Olubode’s election, Nigeria will continue to play a critical role in shaping regional and global policing strategies under the INTERPOL framework.


The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, while congratulating CP Ojajuni on the feat, reaffirms the commitment of the Nigeria Police to professionalism, integrity, and international cooperation, while pledging to sustain active engagement with global partners to promote peace and security worldwide.
