The Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, made the disclosure in a statement in Abuja on Friday.
Adejobi said, “This achievement reflects Nigeria’s growing influence and leadership in global law enforcement matters, particularly in the fight against transnational crime, terrorism, and other emerging threats.
“With CP Ojajuni’s election, Nigeria will continue to play a critical role in shaping regional and global policing strategies under the INTERPOL framework.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun,, while congratulating CP Ojajuni on the feat, reaffirmed the commitment of the Nigeria Police to professionalism, integrity, and international cooperation.
Egbetokun pledged to sustain active engagement with global partners to promote peace and security worldwide.
