MAIDEN PRESS BRIEFING OF THE 38TH COMMISSIONER OF POLICE, OGUN STATE COMMAND, CP BODE OJAJUNI
HELD AT THE CP’S CONFERENCE ROOM, COMMAND HEADQUARTERS, ELEWERAN, ABEOKUTA ON MONDAY, 30TH MARCH, 2026
Officers and men of the Command, distinguished stakeholders, members of the press and the good people of Ogun State,
It is with a deep sense of responsibility and honour that I address you today as the Commissioner of Police, Ogun State Command. I remain profoundly grateful to the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Tunji Disu, psc(+), NPM, for the confidence reposed in me to serve in this capacity.
In his maiden address, the Inspector-General of Police clearly articulated the Force’s policy direction and directives, emphasising unequivocally that the citizens are our bosses. This guiding principle will remain the cornerstone of my administration in Ogun State.
The Inspector-General of Police also made it clear that there will be zero tolerance for abuse of office, indiscipline, incivility towards members of the public, violations of human rights, and corruption. These directives are sacrosanct and I assure you that I will implement them fully and without compromise.
Discipline remains the bedrock of the Nigeria Police Force. I will not condone indiscipline among officers and men under my command. Professionalism, respect for human dignity and strict adherence to the rule of law must define our conduct at all times.
I enjoin all officers and men to treat members of the public with dignity, courtesy, and the utmost respect. We must remain professional in the discharge of our duties. Respect, as they say, is reciprocal. Therefore, I also urge members of the public to engage with the Police and other security agencies with civility and mutual respect. See us as partners and work hand in hand with us in our shared responsibility of maintaining law and order.
My administrative machinery for monitoring officers and men will be robust, proactive, and uncompromising. In this regard, the Complaint Response Unit (CRU) will serve as a key channel through which members of the public can report misconduct and hold officers accountable. The CRU is accessible via telephone, social media platforms including Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and WhatsApp.
In addition, the Gateway Shield App and the Control Room will remain continuously operational to receive complaints, intelligence and all relevant information from the public in real time. These platforms are designed to enhance transparency, responsiveness and public trust.
Furthermore, the X-Squad and the Police Monitoring Unit will be fully deployed and strengthened to ensure internal discipline and professional conduct among officers and men. There will be no safe haven for misconduct.
Let me reiterate that the few bad eggs within our ranks will not be allowed to drag the good name of the Force into disrepute. I encourage both officers and members of the public to remain vigilant and report any wrongdoing through the appropriate channels.
The peace and security of the people of Ogun State remain my paramount agenda. I assure you that I will be accessible, responsive and committed to proactive policing strategies that will guarantee safety across the State.
My administration will also be inclusive. All stakeholders will be given a sense of belonging as we work collectively towards a safer Ogun State. We will deepen collaboration with traditional rulers, community leaders, the media and other security agencies.
Fairness, justice and equity will guide all our actions. I therefore implore members of the public to continue to support the Police by providing credible and timely information that will assist us in effectively combating crime.
To the officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force in Ogun State Command, I charge you to brace yourselves for the task ahead. We must work with renewed vigour, discipline, and unity of purpose to achieve our collective goals. I also assure you that, as a welfarist, your welfare will receive the utmost priority under my leadership.
It is my great pleasure to work with you as colleagues again.
To the entire citizens of Ogun State, it shall be an unrelenting service to sustain the existing peace as well as ensuring a peaceful and secure state.
Thank you and God bless Ogun State.
