Oki said promotion comes with added responsibilities and that the command was poised to combat crime in 2016.
“We
expect you to work harder as we are faced with a mono crime situation
in Bayelsa, which is kidnapping, and when you are in a state with only
one crime, you have to tackle it,” the commissioner said.
He further urged officers and men of the command to work harder and achieve a crime-free Bayelsa in 2016.
Speaking
on behalf of the newly-promoted officers, Mr Asinim Butswat, who is the
Police Public Relations Officer of the command, said the promotion
would encourage them to work harder for enhanced productivity.
“We
are in high spirits and with the promotion coming at this festive
period, it is a very valuable gift to us in this season, and we pledge
to do our best in serving our fatherland,” Butswat said
