“My mission to the ancient city of Ibadan seemed daunting yet at the end of the day it was surmountable. A simple assignment just became a mission and God led the way as always.

The EFCC detective maintained “I thank my team (the Versatile Team EGS Ibadan) for working very smartly and not only winning big but setting a global record. Even at that, we will continue to scale new heights. To me, it is both a pleasure and a rare privilege to have been guided by God and His Mighty Hand to mentor a team of dedicated men and women. Congratulations officers.”
