“The Kaduna Commissioner of Police, CP Yekini Adio Ayoku, flagged off the distribution in Zaria on Wednesday April 27.

Addressing the widows, the police boss said their husbands served their fatherland with zeal and dedication; as such the families they left behind cannot be abandoned by the Nigerian Police Force
“Your husbands served their fatherland diligently and some paid the supreme sacrifice, while ensuring that citizens go to sleep with both eyes closed.
