The Ogun State Police Command has assured the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of adequate security for its personnel, facilities and electoral materials ahead of the 2027 general elections. The assurance was given by the State Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, during a visit to INEC’s office in Abeokuta on Wednesday, where he met with the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Feyijimi Saseyi.
