Ogun Police Ensure Peaceful Elections, Urges Stakeholder Cooperation

The Ogun State Police Command, under the leadership of Commissioner of Police Bode Ojajuni, has pledged to maintain a peaceful, safe, and secure environment in Ogun State for the upcoming 2027 general elections. This commitment was made during a two-day capacity-building workshop held in Abeokuta, organized in collaboration with the Development Communication Research Centre (DCRC).

CP Ojajuni stressed that while security agencies are responsible for public order, the success of peaceful elections relies on the cooperation of all stakeholders, including political parties, candidates, and their supporters. He urged these groups to operate within the law and avoid actions that could lead to violence.

Additionally, he called on electoral officials to perform their duties professionally and for observers and monitors to adhere strictly to their mandates. Prof. Fassy Yusuf, who delivered the keynote address, highlighted the necessity of police neutrality and accountability to ensure credible election security, referencing the key provisions of the Electoral Act 2026.
