The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, will deliver a special lecture on Cyber Security, focusing on new methods of tracking online activities and the expanding intersection between digital safety, national security, and forensic intelligence.

The Director General of the Legal Aid Council of Nigeria, Barrister Aliyu Bagudu Abubakar, will deliver a presentation on “The Effects of War in the African Region,” examining the legal, humanitarian, and security implications of armed conflicts across the continent.

The DG , Morgan Okocha affirmed that the Institute remains unwavering in its mission to raise a knowledge-driven, ethically grounded, and professionally fortified community—men and women equipped with the insight, integrity, and intelligence needed to confront and conquer the evolving security and forensic challenges of our time.”
