The present state of security in Nigeria nowadays is very deplorable and nothing to write home about.

It is very important that more positive-minded security officials like Mr Isaac Olutayo Akinmoyede are produced by the Nigerian police force to curb the high crime rate in Nigeria.

He has proven to be a great leader and a wonderful administrator with his synergy with public agencies and other organisations on solving common security problems. He has also built a wonderful working relationship with other security arms of the state such as the Nigerian Army, The Federal Road Safety Commission and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps by lending his full support in the eradication of banditry and the restoration of peace and harmony in the state.
