On Monday, CP Wale Abass, a new commissioner of police, started his duties at the Delta State Command with the pledge “to build on existing security mechanisms already in place towards enthroning the reign of peace and safety.”
AIG Ari Muhammed Ali, the previous occupant of the position, has been transferred to Lagos State to serve as the Assistant Inspector General Zone 2. As a result, Abass will take over as the 21st Commissioner of Police in Delta State.
The new state police chief instructed teenagers not to allow themselves to be used in any illegal activity and urged the general public to always cooperate with the force and other security organizations.
Abass noted that he was not new to Delta State, and as such would continue from where his predecessor stopped while assuring Deltans that the Command, under his leadership, would ensure that the state became uncomfortable for criminals.
