“On arrival, you are to contact ASP OMOKENI GREEN, the Station Officer, State Intelligence Department, to facilitate the said meeting. Your attendance in persons will be highly appreciated.”
“Accept, as always, the assurances of the Commissioner of Police’s esteemed regards, please,” the statement added.
