Disu’s maiden official visit to the INTERPOL General Secretariat on Monday focused on strengthening cooperation in cybercrime, counter-terrorism, financial and organised crime, fugitive tracking and intelligence sharing, while expanding Nigeria’s use of INTERPOL databases and other global policing tools.
The meeting also reviewed Nigeria’s participation in INTERPOL-supported initiatives and explored further technical and operational collaboration in criminal intelligence analysis, cross-border investigations and the disruption of transnational criminal networks.
The IGP was accompanied by AIG Olaolu Adegbite, Head, INTERPOL Nigeria and National Central Bureau, Abuja; AIG Ezima Akaninyene Ifem, Director, Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre; AIG Akoh Benedict Gabriel, Head, Nigeria Police Counter Terrorism Unit; and CP Ojajuni Olubode, INTERPOL Africa Committee Member.
The Nigeria Police Force said it remained committed to strengthening cooperation with INTERPOL and international law-enforcement partners, leveraging intelligence, technology and global policing capabilities to combat evolving security threats and deny criminal networks the ability to operate across borders.
