Ogun police begin verification of Supernumerary personnel
Image: Punch Nigeria · original report

The Ogun State Police Command has started documenting and verifying all Supernumerary Police personnel operating in the state. The command has also set September 23 as the deadline for the exercise, according to a report by Punch Nigeria, although the supplied information does not detail the required documents or consequences of non-compliance.

The Ogun State Police Command has begun a documentation and verification exercise covering all Supernumerary Police, commonly known as SPY personnel, operating in the state. Punch Nigeria reported that the command announced September 23 as the deadline for the exercise. The supplied report does not specify when the exercise began, where personnel must present themselves or which documents are required.

It also does not state how many SPY personnel are affected by the directive. No details were provided on whether the verification applies to individual officers, the organisations that use their services, or both. The command’s stated action is limited to documentation and verification.

The available information does not explain what will happen to personnel who fail to meet the deadline, or whether the exercise is linked to any wider review of private security operations in Ogun. SPY personnel are therefore required to take note of the September 23 date while the police command carries out the exercise. Further operational details were not included in the supplied material.
