The retired Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Taiwo Lakanu, has  visited Oba Kayode Adenekan Afolabi at his Alapomu Palace in Osun State as part of his tour of some palaces in the South-West to sensitise traditional rulers on the police recruitment exercise.

Lakanu is the chairman of the Committee on all Police Matters and the representative of the Southwest in the Police Service Commission (PSC).

He was accompanied by some members of PSC and senior police officers from the Osun State  Command.

Lakanu sensitised the community on the police recruitment exercise that is ongoing, by providing accurate information about the timeline, eligibility, physical screening, aptitude tests, and medical examination.

The visit also served as a demonstration of the Police Service Commission’s commitment to building strong relationships with the traditional institutions.

However, in his remarks, Oba Afolabi, who is the traditional ruler of the ancient and historic town of Apomu, promised to encourage the people to spread awareness about the recruitment.

He equally promised the support and cooperation of his community in promoting peace, law, and order.
