Ogun CP meets Army, DSS, others, seeks stronger security collaboration

The Commissioner of Police in Ogun State, Bode Ojajuni, has held a series of meetings with security agencies in the state as part of efforts to strengthen collaboration and improve security coordination.

The development was disclosed in a statement shared on April 22, 2026, on the official page of the Ogun State Police Command.

According to the statement, the visits were carried out on April 21 and involved engagements with the Nigerian Army, Department of State Services, DSS, Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, in the state.

It was gathered that discussions during the visits focused on improving intelligence sharing, joint operations, and coordinated responses to security challenges across Ogun State.

At the Nigerian Army’s 35 Artillery Brigade in Abeokuta, the police and military authorities reviewed existing security arrangements and explored ways to enhance joint patrols and rapid response to threats.

Similarly, at the DSS office, emphasis was placed on strengthening intelligence gathering and early response strategies to prevent security breaches.

It was further noted that engagements with the Nigeria Immigration Service centred on border security, including efforts to curb illegal migration, smuggling and cross-border crimes.

At the NSCDC command, discussions focused on the protection of critical infrastructure and improved coordination during emergencies and public disturbances.

Ojajuni noted that effective policing requires strong collaboration among security agencies.

“Synergy among security agencies remains critical to maintaining peace and security,” he said.

He also appreciated the cooperation of the various agencies, reaffirming the command’s commitment to strengthening partnerships to ensure safety of lives and property in the state.
