These vehicles were received on behalf of the service commanders by Andrew Amiengheme, the state commissioner of police.
While appreciating the governor for providing the patrol vehicles, Amiengheme assured citizens of maximum protection during the Christmas and beyond.
He urged citizens to call the police emergency numbers when there is an incident and desist from publishing baseless and sensational reportage in the media.
