Top stakeholders in Nigeria’s security structure are participating in the ongoing Interpol General Assembly in Glasgow, United Kingdom.
Leading the delegation is the country’s Minister of Police Affairs, Sen. Dr. Ibrahim Gaidam, who is accompanied by the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Vice President of Interpol, AIG Umar Baba Rtd., Interpol NCB Abuja CP Olu Adegbite and the renowned Interpol Systems Consultant, Sir Chikwe Udensi.
They joined Heads of Police Agencies and Police Chiefs from the 196 INTERPOL member countries to attend the 92nd INTERPOL General Assembly in the United Kingdom.
The event which kicked off Nov. 4 will come to an end on Thursday 7th November 2024.
The gathering has also given the Nigerian delegation the opportunity to hold bilateral meetings with Europol members and delegates of other countries represented to discuss security issues related to global partnerships, governance, data processing, general policing capabilities, and organized global crimes.
The Nigerian police community hopes to leverage on the positive outcome of the meeting to further strengthen the capacity of the Nigeria Police Force and the West African Police Chiefs Committee (WAPCCO) in his capacity as chairman, in its quest to curb organized crimes across the country and West African subregion.
The IGP reiterates the commitment of the force through its INTERPOL unit to continuously collaborate with other Police institutions to ensure collaborative investigation of international crimes and thereby reduce the potential for such crimes within our borders.
