The Commissioner of Police, Ogun State Command, Bode Ojajuni, has intensified efforts to strengthen inter-agency collaboration through a series of strategic familiarisation visits to key security formations across the state.

‎

‎The visits, conducted on Wednesday saw the CP engage leadership of the Nigerian Army’s 35 Artillery Brigade, the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, in what he described as a deliberate move to consolidate operational synergy and enhance coordinated responses to evolving security threats.

‎

‎At the 35 Artillery Brigade, Alamala Barracks, Abeokuta, where he was received by Brigadier General Godwin U. Nwamba, the CP emphasised the need to consolidate the longstanding military–police partnership in internal security operations.

‎

‎He noted that “effective security management in today’s environment requires sustained collaboration, joint operational planning, and intelligence-driven deployments.”

‎

‎Both leaders reviewed existing joint frameworks and agreed on strengthening rapid response mechanisms, synchronised patrols, and coordinated presence across identified flashpoints.

‎

‎Discussions also underscored the importance of continuous communication, joint situational assessments, and operational preparedness to tackle violent crimes, communal tensions, and other emerging threats.

‎

‎At the DSS Ogun State Command, CP Ojajuni met with the State Director, Director R.A. Adelakun, where deliberations focused on intelligence-led security architecture.

‎

‎The CP stressed that “proactive intelligence gathering and timely dissemination of actionable information remain the backbone of effective crime prevention.”

‎

‎Both agencies reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening surveillance systems and preventive strategies to neutralise threats before escalation, particularly in addressing organised crime and internal security challenges.

‎

‎At the Nigeria Immigration Service, Ogun State Command, the CP engaged with Comptroller of Immigration, CIS Olufunke Yetunde Odusote, with discussions centring on border security and migration management.

‎

‎Ojajuni emphasised that “effective border control is critical to national security,” noting the need to curb illegal migration, human trafficking, smuggling, and infiltration of criminal elements.

‎

‎The meeting highlighted the importance of joint surveillance of border communities, enhanced intelligence sharing, and coordinated enforcement to tackle cross-border crimes.

‎

‎At the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Ogun State Command, where he was received by Commandant Remilekun Omolade Ekundayo, discussions focused on protecting critical national assets and infrastructure.

‎

‎The CP noted that “collaboration is essential in safeguarding public utilities, government installations, and strategic facilities against vandalism and sabotage.”

‎

‎Both agencies agreed on strengthening joint enforcement operations, crisis response coordination, and structured operational alignment, especially during emergencies, civil unrest, and large-scale disturbances.

‎

‎Speaking at the end of the visits, CP Ojajuni expressed appreciation to the leadership of all the agencies for their cooperation and commitment to security.

‎

‎He said, “the synergy among security agencies is a critical pillar for effective policing. These engagements are aimed at consolidating existing partnerships and building stronger operational bridges.”

‎

‎The CP reaffirmed the Ogun State Police Command’s commitment to intelligence-driven policing, enhanced coordination, and sustained collaboration to ensure the safety of lives and property across the state.
