His dedication to community policing, commitment to discipline, and zero tolerance for police unprofessionalism have further enhanced public trust towards the Edo State Police Command.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the Police Public Relations Officer of the Edo State Command, ASP Eno Ikoedem, the Command described Agbonika's elevation as a well-deserved recognition of his exemplary service, competence, and invaluable contributions to policing in Nigeria. The Edo State Police Command extended its best wishes to AIG Agbonika for greater success, sound health, and wisdom as he assumes higher responsibilities in service.
