He said benefits and burden must go together, stressing that he would strive to complement what the Police was doing to ensure that the operations of the Police conform with its rules of engagement.
A statement by Ikechukwu Ani, Head, Press and Public Relations, issued on Friday, April 7, 2023, quoted the PSC Chairman to have said the Police had no reason to go into land matters or debt collection, issues that should be handled through alternative dispute resolution.

He said the Committee now had offices outside the country, such as in Canada, and United Kingdom, among others, adding “We are here to say that the fruit God used you and others to plant has germinated. We are here to rejoice with you and show you love.”
The national president said the committee would be 39 years old on May 8, 2023, and that on May 9, “We want to celebrate it, and we are inviting you to the celebration.”
He took the opportunity oc the occasion to make a case for special promotion for deserving Police Officers to encourage them to put in more effort in the service of the nation.
