Hon. Dickson commended the Commander and men of Operation ‘Doo Akpo’ for their services in the state, noting that, aside from rendering security services, it also renders essential humanitarian and other intervention services.

Commissioner of Police, Bello Ahmed expressed appreciation to God Almighty for the honour bestowed on him as well as to the Inspector-General of Police for finding him worthy to be posted to Bayelsa State to serve.
