The Kaduna state Police Commissioner, Mr. Yekini Ayoku has called on religious organizations and communities to join hands with police and other security agencies in tackling the security challenges bedeviling the state.
The police commissioner made the call weekend, when a delegation of Ansar-ud-Deen Society, Kaduna Branch, paid him a courtesy visit in his office in Kaduna.
Ayoku said, “the security challenges facing Kaduna state and Nigeria require multidimensional solutions,”noting that while the community can assist security agencies with vital information, religious bodies can help with prayers.
“We all know the challenges here, please do your best to make it better. We have been sent here to work and we would do the work.
“Security is a collective responsibility please join hands with us, do whatever you can do to assist with the security of the state.
“You can intercede for us in prayer to ensure we resolve the security challenges”, he said.
Ayoku said the police will work assiduously to make sure that security in Kaduna state improves.
He said, “Most of us are not indigenes of Kaduna state, you have made Kaduna your home, do whatever you can do to make the state better.
“I thank you for coming to see me. Allah did not make a mistake by directing my path here, the day I reported here, he has designed me that I would pray at Ansar-ud-Deen. Consider me as part of Ansar-ud-Deen”.
Earlier the Kaduna branch Chairman of Ansar-ud-Deen Society, Alhaji Saburideen Adeyemi, said the visit was to welcome the new police to Kaduna state and to appreciate his attendance at the last Juma’at prayer at the mosque.
The religious group wish the police commissioner a successful tenure.
Also speaking, the Chief Imam, of the Ansar-ud-Deen Society, Alhaji Abdul Azeez Kijan offered prayers for the new CP for a successful stay in Kaduna state and for “Allah to bring the security challenges in the state and across the country to an end.”
