Nigerian police leadership has begun outlining security strategies and commitments for the upcoming 2027 general elections.

Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu pledged that the Nigeria Police Force is committed to a “peaceful and violence-free electoral process.” To achieve this, the Force has developed a security roadmap focusing on intelligence, inter-agency coordination, technology deployment, and political neutrality.

In Ogun State, Commissioner of Police Bode Ojajuni reinforced these efforts by emphasizing that election security is a “shared responsibility” among political parties, media, and citizens. Ojajuni urged stakeholders to prevent criminal elements from exploiting the process and reminded actors that elections are a “constitutional process rather than a war.”
