his retirement has brought him
permanently reunited with his family after staggered absence due to demands of the job.
“I deserve a rest from a long period of service to my fatherland. I will have this moment to unite with my family because I have lived all these years moving from one place to another and most times, without being planned. I deserve a rest.”
Officers pulled out included DIG Johnson Kokumo, AIGs Issac Akinmoyede; Olatunji Akingbola; Andrew Amiengheme; Amechi Elumelu; Ngozi V. Onadeko; Eboka Friday.
Others include AIGs Adesina M. Soyemi; Asafa Adekunle; Edward Egbuka; Olawale T. Olokode; Abutu Yaro and Commissioners of Police Adetokumbo C. Owolabi and Salem V. Amachree.
Sequel to the pullout ceremony, a colourful parade was organised in honour of the distinguished senior retiring officers as DIG Kokumo was the Reviewing Officer. The event had in attendance members of the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), who in this goodwill message applauded the officers for their impeccable service to the country.
It was learnt that the retired officers were admitted into the Academy on the 15th March, 1988 as Course 15 NPF Academy, and trained at Police College, Kano. They were 190 on admission but only 175 passed out as Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP). The course produces impeccable officers who contributed greatly to the NPF and the nation at large.
