The DPO said, “let me on behalf of the Commissioner of Police appreciate you for all the help you have been rendering to us. If not for you, the vehicle was totally gone. All our efforts in the past for well-meaning people to help the police in the station have not yielded positive results, nobody comes to help us but you came at the right time.
“May God continue to bless you. May you continue to go higher, higher, higher in life in Jesus name.”
