It explained that IGP Egbetokun “is actively participating in discussions on contemporary security challenges, intelligence-sharing mechanisms, and practical strategies for cross-border policing.”
It added that the IGP is scheduled to deliver an address on ‘Cattle Theft in West Africa: A Conduit for Terrorism and CBRNE Threats’, where he would be underscoring the nexus between transnational organised crime, terrorism financing, and emerging chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) threats within the sub-region.
The statement further added that on the sidelines of the conference, the IGP Egbetokun would be holding bilateral meetings with the INTERPOL President, Major General Naser Alraisi, and the INTERPOL Secretary General, Mr. Valdecy Urquiza.
