Abutu Yaro assumes duty as Edo commissioner of police
The new Commissioner of Police for Edo, Abutu Yaro, assumed office on Monday in Benin, promising to be a team player.
Addressing officers at the command headquarters shortly after, Mr Yaro noted that the command’s security architecture was world class.
“We are simply keying into what is on ground. With you and the men, certainly, the mission will be very easy.
“Fine tune your actions and ensure that Edo people continue to enjoy the peace you have succeeded in creating,” he said.
Mr Yaro urged the officers to “continue to do your best and ensure that sanity continues to reign.”
Earlier, the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of operations in the command, Miller Dantawaye, said lazy officers should “go elsewhere” because, “our new CP is a workaholic and a very operational man.”
Mr Yaro is the 43rd commissioner of police in the history of the Edo command.
