The visits formed part of his ongoing familiarisation tour aimed at strengthening security coordination and cooperation among law enforcement and safety agencies across the state.
During his visit to the NSCDC State Command, the police commissioner met with the State Commandant, Commandant Chinedu F. Igbo, where he emphasised the need for improved intelligence sharing and operational collaboration ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
