Egbetokun who was represented by the Commissioner of Police in charge of the Police Mobile Force, Deinma Abibo, the Police Force participation in the tournament alongside the Military and Civilians has instilled the spirit of unity and national cohesion amongst the various forces as well the public.
“First and foremost, sports keep us physically fit, and mentally alert. “It also creates room for inter-agency relationships, collaboration, and synergy.” The IGP declared.
“So, against that backdrop, it helps us to promote unity amongst sister agencies. “Outside that, it also creates a forum for community policing with members of the public,” he added.
