“Your best friend at all times is the Police, hence my suggestion to my friend (Oba Olatunde Oginni) that for this land to be prosperous, there is a need for Police presence here, that’s why I’m full of gratitude that God made it possible for me to be the person to open this building for operations”, said the AIG SK Akande.
He however urged the area commander in charge of Ijesaland to source for good men that will Man the station, saying the position of the Police post is very strategic to the security architecture of his jurisdiction, hence should give it all strength that is required by putting sensitive police officers.
