The command assured that the killers of the former Divisional Police Officer of Ahoada East Local Government Area of the state, SP Bako Angbashin, would be arrested and made to face the law, as his death won’t be swept under the carpet.
“I have started fostering a partnership between the police and members of the public.
“I had a meeting twice with the traffic section of the police to remind them that they must be civil in their dealings with members of the public.
“I want to work with members of the public so they can trust us and give us information,” he noted.
