“I feel more comfortable handing over arrested trucks and suspects to the EFCC, it makes things easier for us. I also think we should have a sensitization session to deepen mutual understanding between the two agencies”, he said.

“We must all continue to work together because it’s the only way to ensure that Nigerians are not deprived of their rights”, he said.
