According to the statement, CP Bakori commended officers for their commitment and selfless service, urging them to sustain the Command’s recent security gains.

A major focus of the session was enhanced security in border communities, especially villages in Shanono, Tsanyawa and Rogo local government areas. Bakori noted that personnel and equipment deployments have been reinforced in these vulnerable zones and called for increased vigilance.
