The deployment of the new Commandant was contained in a press statement signed by the Command Public Relation Officer (DCPRO) Abubakar Mohammed Rabiu Muti DSC<\/p>\n
He succeeded Commandant Suberu Siyaka Aniviye who was placed on suspension along with twenty one other officers of the Command as a result of the death of the 37 suspected illegal miners in the custody of the Command.<\/p>\n
Commandant Suberu Aniviye’s suspension was announced by the Minister of Interior Hon. Oubunmi Tunji-Ojo in a press statement.<\/p>\n
The assumption of office of Salisu Kabara comes at a particularly trying moment for the Command, as result of the sad and unfortunate deaths of some persons arrested in connection with suspected illegal mining activities in the State.<\/p>\n

He stressed that, while the Corps remains committed to its statutory responsibilities of arrest, investigation, enforcement and the fight against illegal mining, the sanctity of human life must remain paramount.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt a moment like this, beyond arrests, investigations, enforcement and the fight against illegal mining, we must remember one fundamental truth: every human life matters<\/p>\n
\u201cThe loss of any human life is painful, and our thoughts and prayers are with the families who are mourning at this difficult time\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n
Noting that the responsibility of protecting society and enforcing the law must go hand in hand with the responsibility to uphold the dignity, safety and welfare of persons in custody.<\/p>\n
