Yola, Adamawa State- April 27, 2025

In a renewed effort to enhance security, the Adamawa State Police Command, under the leadership of Commissioner of Police CP Dankombo Morris, Psc (+), has deployed additional personnel to Kopre Village in Hong Local Government Area. This was contained in a statement released by SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, (ANIPR) Police Public Relations Officer- for the Commissioner of Police.

This move reinforces the command’s collaboration with sister security agencies, particularly the military, to curb violent crimes, safeguard lives and property, and recover illegal firearms.
