May 29: AIG urges non state actors to support hitch-free transition
Mr Umar Sanda, Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) in charge of Zone 9, Umuahia, Abia state, has urged non-state actors to support hitch-free transition ahead of May 29 hand-over.
Sanda gave the advice on Thursday in Abakaliki during his maiden duty tour to state Commands in the zone.
The AIG noted that the officers and men in the zone were ready and committed to security of lives and property during and after May 29.
He stated the need for a hitch-free transition and urged the personnel to be on the watch out and maintain peace.
Sanda further called on the personnel to be diligent and vigilant in discharge of their duties.
“I urge you to always be diligent and vigilant to duties. Guard anything that are unreasonable risk. As you protect other, also try to protect yourself.
“Be committed and discharge your duties with good manner. Be disciplined and avoid eye-service. Remember that our work is service to God and humanity.
“I, therefore, urge all hands to be on deck, especially the non-state actors to ensure peaceful and orderly transition on May 29,” the AIG advised.
