She also ensured that the homestead does not suffer in the process, and described this virtue as “one of its kind.”
Mrs Adesina explained that, the Association’s National Chairperson, Mrs Elizabeth Egbetokun, has mandated them to ensure that all the women appear in the Police camouflage uniform during this period, to show solidarity to their husbands, and also share in their burdens.
Responding, the Plateau State Commissioner of Police, CP Olugbemiga Emmanuel Adesina, on behalf of the Command, expressed appreciation to the women, wished them well and promised that the Command will always support POWA whenever the need arises.
