A female mobile police officer, Nsisong Umoh, who also benefited from the commissioner’s kindness expressed gratitude to the police. “With this machine, I will be coming early to work. Though I don’t know how to ride it now, somebody will be bringing me to work on it, until I learn how to ride it. I want to tell the police that we are grateful,” she said. • Police Commissioner, Adenaya Talmon Gaya speaking to newsmen         HOME | ABOUT THE SUN | SPORTS | POLITICS | NEWS | COLUMNISTS | CONTACT US I ADVERT RATE © 2004 THE SUN PUBLISHING LTD.
