The Ogun State Police Command has officially welcomed Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, following his appointment and deployment by the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu.
Ojajuni, a native of Ondo State born on April 3, 1970, joins the command with nearly three decades of policing experience, having enlisted in the Nigeria Police Force in 1996 as a Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police.
A highly educated officer, he holds degrees in History Education, Law, and International Relations and Strategic Studies, and is currently pursuing a doctoral degree. He is widely regarded for his professionalism, integrity, and commitment to community policing.
Prior to his latest appointment, Ojajuni served as Commissioner of Police at INTERPOL’s Nigeria National Central Bureau in Lagos, where he spearheaded efforts against transnational crime and dismantled several criminal networks. He also previously served as Deputy Commissioner of Police at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Ogun State, where he played a key role in tackling violent crimes.
His career spans several strategic and operational roles, including Principal Staff Officer to the Inspector-General of Police between 2017 and 2019, Area Commander of Area “A” Command, Lion Building, Lagos—where he was named Area Commander of the Year in 2021—and Police Public Relations Officer for Lagos State Command.
Ojajuni has also commanded multiple Mobile Police Force squadrons across the country, including in Ikeja, Epe, Asaba, and Abeokuta, and has served in various capacities in Adamawa, Oyo, and Lagos states.
On the international stage, he is a member of the INTERPOL African Committee, following his election at the 27th INTERPOL African Regional Conference held in Cape Town in 2025.
He has represented Nigeria at key global security events, including the ECOWAS Security Summit in Lomé and the 93rd INTERPOL General Assembly in Marrakech.
He has undergone extensive international training in the United States, Singapore, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and France, enhancing his expertise in global policing and intelligence coordination.
Notably, he has facilitated the repatriation of high-profile fugitives to countries including China, strengthening international law enforcement collaboration.
In March 2026, Ojajuni was appointed Secretary to the Steering Committee on the Establishment of State Police by the Inspector-General of Police, a role that culminated in the submission of the committee’s report to the Senate.
A decorated officer, he has received numerous awards, including the African Nations Builders Award and recognitions from the Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria. He is also a member of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations.
Ojajuni, who is married with children, has pledged to uphold professionalism, accountability, and effective service delivery in his new role as head of the Ogun State Police Command.
The command stated that the new commissioner can be reached through official channels as part of efforts to maintain accessibility and strengthen community engagement.
