Ogun Police Ensure Security for INEC Ahead of 2027 Elections

The Ogun State Police Command has assured the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of sufficient security for its personnel, facilities, and electoral materials ahead of the 2027 general elections. This assurance was communicated by Commissioner of Police CP Bode Ojajuni during a strategic visit to INEC's Ogun State office on October 14, 2026.

Ojajuni met with Resident Electoral Commissioner Mrs Feyijimi Saseyi and toured the INEC premises, discussing security arrangements to ensure a peaceful electoral process. He highlighted the importance of sustained cooperation between the police and INEC, stating that the INEC office would serve as a secondary office for the police until the elections.

The security preparations will focus on intelligence-led policing, early threat assessment, and coordinated personnel deployment. Ojajuni also recalled a security workshop held in Abeokuta that included INEC and other stakeholders.

Saseyi expressed her commitment to transparency and collaboration with the police for credible elections. The police urged all stakeholders to respect the law and report security concerns.
