He was appointed into the Nigeria Police Force as a cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police on the 1st of February, 1986 and served the Force in various capacities within and outside the country especially in Lagos.

He is therefore calling on the good people of Akwa Ibom State to respect the law at all times and accord him the needed support to succeed.” The statement concluded.
