The Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP Abaniwonda Olufemi on Wednesday 22nd May 2024 presented the DPO Ekpan Police Station, CSP Aliyu Shaba who won the award of DPO of the Year and Police Officer of the Year award at the maiden Nigeria Police Award and commendation that took place on 15th April 2024 in Abuja.
In a statement on Friday, 24th May 2024 signed by the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Edafe Bright, said that the CP noted that it is pertinent to present the DPO and the awards to his excellency as the Chief Security Officer in the State and also buttress the fact that the command and the DPO could not have recorded such achievements if not for the support of the Governor, and the good people of Delta State.
The Governor, Rt Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori in his remark congratulated the DPO for his achievement noting that there is always a reward for hard work. He also stated that Ekpan was a boiling zone and a comfortable place for criminals. Still, since the CSP Aliyu Shaba was posted there, complete sanity has been restored to the area, and residents in Ekpan can now sleep with their two eyes closed.
The Governor urged other officers to emulate CSP Aliyu Shaba’s dedication to duty. He also thanked the CP for giving CSP Aliyu Shaba and other officers of the command the necessary support and platform to perform.
The Governor presented a cash gift to CSP Aliyu Shaba urging him to do more in line with the popular saying “The reward for hard work is more work”
