In line with our constitutional mandate of protecting the lives and property of citizens, I have called you this afternoon to brief you on some of the achievements of the command within the period I took over as the Commissioner of Police, Rivers State Command.

The Command is not relenting in the fight against crime and criminality in the State. Since my assumption as the 44th Commissioner of Police in the State, I have vowed to rid out all forms of criminal activities, and to make the State habitable for those doing genuine business.

Exhibits recovered; one locally fabricated G-3 rifle with eight rounds of live G-3 ammunition, one locally made pistol that uses AK47 ammunition, one cutlass, and three phones.
5. I call on parents/guardians to monitor the activities of their children/wards so as to ensure they do not succumb to societal pressures to commit crimes. While I Commend and urge Officers and men of the Command to ensure crime and criminality is brought to the barest minimum in the State.
6. Thank you for your usual cooperation.
