Adamu gave the commendation when he paid a courtesy visit on the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division of Nigerian Army, Ibadan, Oyo State; Major-General Okwudili Fidelis Azinta on Wednesday March 20.
The IGP represented by the Assistant Inspector General (AIG) of Police in charge of Zone XI, Osogbo, Osun State; Leye Oyebade called for the sustenance of the strategy deployed by the military in achieving such feat.
While assuring that the existing synergy between the police and the military in the zone would not dwindle during his time, he reiterated his commitment to providing adequate security for all.
The AIG who was accompanied by the Oyo State CP, Shina Olukolu, also emphasized intelligence-led policing, public partnership, training and retraining as tools for effective policing, adding that his vision and mission in the Zone stands on the tripod of problem-solving, community partnership and organisational transformation which are essential elements of community policing.
In his reaction, the GOC thanked the AIG for the visit and lauded the invaluable role of the police in internal security, and promised his support always when such support was needed.
