The newly deployed Ekiti State Commissioner of Police, Adeniran Kunle Adewale, has officially assumed office in Akure, the state capital.

Adewale took over from Dare Ogundare, who was elevated to the post of the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG).

Addressing journalists in Ado Ekiti, the new CP said his deployment was not a mistake, but a call to serve.

He said: “This time call for sober reflection because of the upsurge in insecurity, but the government is doing everything possible to arrest the situation.

“I am here, and I am in charge; I am fully on ground. I am warning those with weapons to submit them because I will come after them, so all kidnappers, and other criminals in Ekiti State should steer clear.”
