Agbara community witnessed a rare moment of gratitude and civic pride as the Baale of Odan, Agbara, Fashina Waheed Bolarinwa, alongside his chiefs under the Agbara Area Command, paid a courtesy visit to the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Ayinde Abiodun, to celebrate his resilient and outstanding service.
The traditional delegation arrived with gifts and framed portraits; symbols of deep appreciation for a leader whose policing has restored confidence and calm across communities within his jurisdiction.
Widely known for his firm stance against cultism, theft, kidnapping, and other social vices, CSP Ayinde’s leadership has been described as uncompromising yet fair. Community leaders praised his consistency, truthfulness, and unwavering commitment to justice; qualities that have earned him the nickname “Mr. No Nonsense.”
Accompanying the Baale on the goodwill visit were prominent chiefs and community leaders of Odan Agbara, including:
- Chief Najeem Alabi, Olorogun of Odan Agbara
- Otunba Chief Okeneye Johnson, Atunwase of Odan Agbara
- Chief Mrs Oluwatoyi Okeneye, Yeye Atunwase of Odan Agbara
- Chief Frank Nnamso Morah, Oganla of Odan Agbara
- Lukman Olawunmi, Olori Odo of Odan Agbara
Under his watch, Agbara has experienced renewed order, proactive crime prevention, and a culture of accountability that resonates with residents and stakeholders alike.
Speaking on behalf of the community, the Baale commended CSP Ayinde’s ingenuity and courage, noting that his presence has become a symbol of sanity and peacekeeping in the area.
The celebration, leaders said, was not merely ceremonial but a public acknowledgment that effective policing thrives when integrity meets community trust.
In his response, CSP Ayinde expressed gratitude for the honour and reaffirmed his commitment to do even more.
He pledged to sustain and strengthen his legacy within the Nigeria Police Force, emphasizing partnership with community leaders, intelligence-led policing, and zero tolerance for crime.
The event stood as a powerful reminder that the Nigerian Police remains endowed with officers of great probity; professionals whose legacies are built on service, justice, and peace.
