The Police Community Relations Committee said it’s fully committed to securing the lives and property of Nigerians.

According to the committee, it will ensure this by strongly complementing the efforts of the Nigeria Police in diligently discharging its constitutional mandate.

The committee’s National Chairman, Mogaji Olaniyan, made the commitment on Saturday in Kaduna at the handing over ceremony between the committee’s outgoing and new executives in the state.

Mr Olaniyan, represented by the Assistant National Secretary of the committee, Sadiq Monoh, said PCRC would do everything humanly possible to ensure that police in the country hugely succeed in all their activities.

He said, “We will continue to be active and mutual partners with the police for them to succeed in maintaining internal security. Doing this is not our responsibility alone, hence all the law-abiding citizens must positively contribute their own quotas in this direction.”

Mr Olaniyan further expressed delight that they would henceforth be actively involved in the recruitment of new police across the country.

He said, “This is a very good development as the move will ensure the recruitment of more qualified, disciplined and patriotic youths into the Nigeria Police Force.”

Mr Olaniyan also charged the new executives to ensure unity, proactiveness and commitment to duty.

The Zone 14 Chairman of PCRC, retired ACG Suleiman Argungu, promised to provide wise counsel to the Kaduna State chapter, saying, “This is to make it succeed in turning the fortunes of the committee.”

He expressed confidence in the ability of the new leadership of the committee to assist the police in boosting the security of the lives and the property of the people of the state.

Also speaking, the new State Chairman of PCRC in the state, Sanusi Mohammed, vowed not to betray the tremendous confidence reposed on them.

He said, “We will do our best to take PCRC in the state to greater heights.

We will work round the clock, sacrificing our time and resources to bolster robust community policing. The task of providing security to the lives and property of Nigerians is not that of the police or the other security agencies alone. As law-abiding citizens, we all have a responsibility to assist the police and other security agencies to safeguard the lives and property of Nigerians. We will surely take PCRC in Kaduna State from its previous state of deep slumber to that of unwavering commitment to make it great again.”
