He urged the families to use the token wisely to improve their standard of living and find solace in the Lord.
Additionally, the Commissioner of Police recognized the dedication and hard work of 17 personnel from the Command who were deployed to ensure orderliness and security at the recent NYSC Orientation Camp for the 2024 Batch A, Stream One orientation exercise in Minna. These officers received commendation letters from the NYSC State Coordinator, Mrs. Abdulwahab Olayinka, for their outstanding service despite facing challenges.
Among the personnel honored were ASP Shuaibu Abdulkadir, ASP Istifanus Yakubu, inspectors Mafuyai Yak, Nasiru Danlami, Sule Rahman, Mustapha Ndagi, Salihu Mohammed, and Magret John, among others.
