Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has congratulated the Delta State Police Command for their excellent performances in fighting crime and for a DPO in the command to emerge as the best police officer of the year and best DPO of the year.
Gov. Oborevwori stated this while receiving the Commissioner of Police, Delta State, CP Abaniwonda Olufemi, on Wednesday, May 22, 2024 when the CP came to present the DPO Ekpan Police Station, CSP Aliyu Shaba, who won the awards of DPO of the Year and Police Officer of the Year award at the maiden Nigeria Police Award and commendation.
The award wining event took place on April 15, 2024 in Abuja.
The CP noted that it is pertinent to present the DPO and the awards to his excellency as the chief security officer in the State and also buttress the fact that the command and the DPO could not have recorded such achievements if not for the support of the Governor, and the good people of Delta State.
His Excellency Rt Hon(Elder) Sheriff Oborevwori in his remark congratulated the DPO for his achievement, stating that there is always a reward for hard work.
He also stated that Ekpan was a very hot zone and comfortable place for criminals, but since the CSP Aliyu Shaba was posted there, complete sanity has been restored to the area, and residents in Ekpan can now sleep with their two eyes closed. His Excellency urged other officers to emulate CSP Aliyu Shaba’s dedication to duty. He also thank the CP for giving CSP Aliyu Shaba and other officers of the command the necessary support and platform to perform.
The Governor presented a cash gift to CSP Aliyu Shaba urging him to do more in line with the popular saying “The reward for hard work is more work”
