The new Commandant who resumed duty in the State on July 22, 2019, disclosed that intelligence is the bedrock of security and all personnel must be involved.
He reiterated that being vigilant and innovative are virtues that must be embraced for the corps to justify the confidence reposed in them by members of the public.
