IGP Disu Enhances Police Security Measures for 2027 Elections
Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Disu has directed senior police officers to activate intelligence and early-warning systems and strengthen joint operations with other security agencies in preparation for the 2027 general elections. This directive was given during the opening of the 2026 Conference and Retreat for Senior Police Officers (CARSPO 2026) in Owerri, Imo State.
Disu emphasized the importance of preparing for the entire electoral cycle, with presidential and national assembly elections scheduled for January 16, 2027, and governorship and state assembly elections on February 6, 2027. He stated that the security of these elections would rely heavily on the preparedness and professionalism of police officers across the country.
Disu also assured that the Nigeria Police Force would continue its efforts against terrorism, kidnapping, banditry, and communal violence, asserting that these issues would not distract the police from securing the elections.
