The CP who was accompanied by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of State Criminal Investigation Department, DCP Moses Gana and the Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations, ACP James Ihiabe, noted that the initiative is particularly important, given the history of security incidents in the School area.
