Nigeria’s CP Olubode Ojajuni Wins Seat on INTERPOL Africa Committee
The Nigeria Police Force has achieved another milestone on the international stage as Commissioner of Police (CP) Olubode Ojajuni secured a seat on the prestigious INTERPOL Africa Committee.
The announcement was confirmed in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who noted that the election took place during the 27th African Regional Conference in Cape Town, South Africa. With CP Ojajuni’s victory, Nigeria now holds the fifth seat on the Committee for a two-year tenure.
The INTERPOL Africa Committee plays a vital role in advising the African Regional Conference on its mandate, facilitating its sessions, and identifying strategic crime priorities. It also works to enhance cross-border police cooperation, promote best practices, and develop projects aimed at strengthening regional and continental security.
According to Adejobi, this latest achievement underscores Nigeria’s rising influence and leadership in global law enforcement, particularly in tackling transnational crime, terrorism, and other emerging threats.
Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, congratulated CP Ojajuni on the landmark victory, reaffirming the Force’s dedication to professionalism, integrity, and international cooperation.
“The Nigeria Police remains committed to sustaining active engagement with global partners to promote peace and security worldwide,” the IGP stated.
