Commissioner of Police, Gombe State Command, Oqua Etim, has appealed to the Traditional Rulers in the state to use their influence and fatherly positions to talk to the members of their communities to shun violence or any other vices and conduct themselves concerning the rule of law.
He also commended their efforts to ensure peace in their communities across the state, particularly during the electioneering campaigns.
The Police Commissioner appealed when he paid visits to Kaltungo Emirate and Billiri Chiefdom as well as Akko Emirate in continuation of his tour to the 11 Local Government Areas of the state.
