Police Beef Security as Schools Resume in Ogun
Becky Uba Umenyili As schools resumed studies across the nation for the 2026/27 academic session, the Ogun State Police Command has beefed up security measures to ensure safety of children
As schools across Nigeria recommenced their 2026/27 academic year, the Ogun State Police Command has intensified security protocols to safeguard pupils and teachers. Recently, when a distress call was received of an armed gang robbing students in their hostel in the Eruku/Agbon community of Ogun, police swiftly responded and thwarted the robbery attempts. They apprehended two suspects while the remaining gang members fled.
Initial investigations revealed that the gang coerced a victim to transfer N200,000 into an account, in addition to stealing 11 smartphones and a laptop. The police have recovered the stolen goods and are actively pursuing the fugitives and locating the account holder to whom the funds were illicitly transferred.
Meanwhile, Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, has expressed concern over the students' and public's safety. He has advised them to dial the following toll-free lines should they encounter any suspicious activity or incidents: 0800 000 9111, 09164859299, and 09154293464. Moreover, he emphasized the importance of interagency collaboration to bolster intelligence sharing and enhance joint security efforts throughout the state.
This advice came after a courtesy call from Mr. Ganiyu Oladele, Comptroller of the Nigeria Immigration Service, to his office.
