Police in Ogun State deploy their School Protection Squad across the state as schools prepare to resume for the 2026/2027 academic session. The deployment focuses on strengthening security around schools and protecting pupils, teachers, and other members of school communities, along with school infrastructure.
Multiple outlets report that the Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, announces the move, framing it as part of efforts to increase police visibility and ensure quicker responses to security threats during the period of renewed academic activities. One outlet also adds that authorities urge public vigilance, indicating the security approach involves both police presence and awareness from the wider community. The reports converge on the timing—school resumption—and the stated goals: safeguarding people and facilities at schools throughout Ogun.
While all sources describe the same deployment and objectives, their emphasis varies slightly, with some highlighting protection and coverage around schools and others stressing swift response capabilities and the call for vigilance as the academic year restarts.
