UMUAHIA — Abia State has a new Commissioner of Police, Mr Wilfred Afolabi, who assumed duty on Monday with a pledge to strengthen intelligence-led policing, deepen community partnership and enforce discipline within the rank and file.
CP Afolabi, who becomes the 35th Commissioner of Police in Abia, succeeds AIG Danladi Isa, who has been promoted and redeployed to the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Kaduna.
The new CP, who spoke to journalists shortly after assuming office, said his administration would focus on strengthening existing security structures and re-engineering the state’s intelligence network to enhance crime prevention.
“Because of my intelligence background, intelligence is really going to be given much priority. We are going to make sure that intelligence structures are re-engineered and the intelligence network enhanced,” he said.
