“The deceased was a young promising man. I want to commend the unit command for the level of transparency they displayed.

” We were careful because people take advantage of situations like this.
It took us long to do our investigations before the handover of the money.
“This is the tradition of the FRSC. Whenever valuables are recovered, we take our time to investigate. We commiserate with you.”
