IGP, INTERPOL Chief Discuss Stronger Action Against Transnational Crime
The Nigeria Police Force and INTERPOL are strengthening cooperation to track and disrupt criminals and fugitives operating across national borders.
The renewed partnership was discussed in Lyon, France, where the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, met with INTERPOL Secretary General Valdecy Urquiza and senior officials of the organisation.
The discussions focused on intelligence sharing, access to INTERPOL databases, fugitive tracking and stronger coordination in the fight against cybercrime, terrorism, financial crime, corruption and organised transnational crime.
The Nigerian delegation also received briefings on key initiatives supporting policing cooperation in West Africa, including WAPIS and GEMINI.
The engagement underscores the growing need for international cooperation as criminals increasingly operate across borders. For Nigeria, stronger collaboration with INTERPOL will support intelligence-led policing and enhance the ability of law enforcement to identify, track and disrupt criminals wherever they operate.
