New AIG in Yola Pledges Security Boost After CP’s Courtesy Visit

On a warm Monday morning, April 28th, 2025, the breeze of change swept across Zone 3 Headquarters of the Nigeria Police in Yola. It wasn’t just another day—it was a show of unity, command respect, and security reawakening.

The newly appointed Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 3, AIG Auwal Musa Muhammad, opened his doors wide to receive the Commissioner of Police, Adamawa State Command, CP Dankombo Morris.

The Zone 3 formation oversees both Adamawa and Taraba States—two areas that have often wrestled with security challenges and rising expectations from citizens.

The courtesy visit was more than a routine check-in—it was a powerful gesture. CP Dankombo, accompanied by his management team, came not just to greet his boss but to build a strong foundation of cooperation, trust, and strategic synergy.

“This visit is to pay my respects, seek guidance, and assure the AIG of my full loyalty. Security is a shared task, and we are here to strengthen that bond,” CP Morris said during the meeting, held inside the AIG’s Yola office.

The Zonal Police Public Relations Officer, SP Yusuf Adamu Muhammed, confirmed the meeting through an official statement released to the press in Yola.

AIG Auwal Musa Muhammad, known for his firm but inclusive leadership style, responded with open arms.
He thanked the CP for the visit, assuring him that the zone stands ready to support the Adamawa Command on all fronts.

“My office is always open. As a zone, our job is supervisory and coordinating. We are here to make sure the state command succeeds,” the AIG stated, looking directly at the CP with a calm but firm resolve.

He called on the Commissioner to step up efforts to boost security intelligence, deepen ties with traditional and community leaders, and strengthen crime-fighting using community-led and intelligence-based policing.
His advice aligned perfectly with the broader strategy being championed by the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM.

“The IGP has made it clear—we need modern, people-first policing. Our work is not just to chase criminals but to build a society where peace, trust, and economic growth can thrive,” AIG Muhammad added.

He stressed that Adamawa and Taraba States, being key territories in Nigeria’s northeast, must remain stable to encourage investor confidence and accelerate regional development.

Insecurity, if not swiftly dealt with, becomes a clog in the nation’s economic wheels.

The visit was wrapped up with smiles, mutual respect, and a symbolic group photograph—one that many believe marks the start of a renewed, more determined policing approach across the zone.

Citizens, especially in Adamawa, are already watching keenly. Many are hopeful that this alliance between the zone and the state command will finally birth more results, not just report.
