"Police commissioner CP Bala Ciroma has delivered and returned to the headquarters of the force in Abuja.

"Furthermore, it is the reasoning of the inspector general of the police, Ibrahim Idris, that CP Undie Adie understands the terrain better, so he must stay and drive the boat out of the tides.
