The Delta State Commissioner of Police, Abaniwonda Olufemi has presented the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Ekpan Police Station, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Aliyu Shaba to the Governor of Delta State Excellency Rt Hon (Elder) Sheriff Oborevwori, for his outstanding gallantry and achievements.
Aliyu Shaba 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.
According to the CP, it was pertinent to present the DPO and the awards to his excellency as the chief security officer in the State. The number of Police Officers in the state also buttressed the fact that the command and the DPO could not have recorded such achievements if not for the support of the Governor, and the people of Delta State.
Oborevwori in his remark congratulated the DPO for his achievement noting that there was always a reward for hard work. He also stated that Ekpan was a very hot zone and comfortable place for criminals, but since the CSP Aliyu Shaba was posted there, complete sanity has been restored to the area, and residents in Ekpan were now sleeping with their two eyes closed.
Oborevwori urged other officers to emulate CSP Aliyu Shaba’s dedication to duty. He also thank 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”
