The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, on Thursday, honoured retired Deputy Superintendent of Traffic, Anifa Abiodun with the IGP’s award of recognition and cash support for her outstanding service to the Nigeria Police Force.

A statement on Thursday by Ani Iniedu, the force spokesperson, said the reward presentation took place at the force headquarter, Abuja.

He stated that Mr Disu commended the retired officer for her professionalism, discipline, resilience and dedication to traffic management during her years of service with the Ogun State Police Command, particularly in Abeokuta.

“Throughout her career, DST Anifa Bello Abiodun distinguished herself through her commitment to duty and consistent service to members of the public. 

“Her professionalism and dedication earned her the appreciation and goodwill of residents and road users within the communities where she served, culminating in public recognition of her service,” Mr Iniedu said.

Mr Disu said members of the public appreciated the police when officers discharged their duties professionally and responsibly.

He stressed that public dissatisfaction is often directed at misconduct rather than the institution itself, adding that he was pleased the retired officer had earned the respect and recognition of the community she served.

He noted that such recognition reinforced the values expected of personnel and encouraged others to distinguish themselves through dedicated service.
