Bassey Ewah assumed duty on Thursday as the 46th commissioner of police of Plateau. Mr Ewah replaced Emmanuel Adesina, who recently retired from active service.

Addressing personnel of the command, Mr Ewah promised to sustain the peace already in place in the state.

“I stand before you today as the 46th commissioner of police in this state. I want to assure you that it will not be business as usual under my watch.

“We will build on the already established peace in this great state, and we will work tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of all citizens.

“I charge all officers and men of this command to bring their best game forward and work towards taking Plateau back to its original state as the Home of Peace and Tourism,” he said.

Mr Ewah promised to be diligent and committed to duty, and called on residents of the state to support the command towards ensuring lasting peace.

“We will work with the good people of Plateau to identify and address security challenges, and we will not rest until we achieve our goals,” he said.

The commissioner also promised to collaborate with other security agencies to improve security in the state.
