In his opening remarks, the Chairman of PCRC FCT Command, Chief Dr. Rufus Ebegba, outlined the vision and mandate of the Committee, stressing its role in fostering trust, cooperation, and mutual understanding between the Nigeria Police and the public.
He explained that the PCRC serves as a strategic partner to the police, providing support in logistics, intelligence gathering, and community-based information sharing aimed at enhancing security and combating crime.
In his own remarks, Chairman/CEO Yajifarz and Sons limited, Alhaji Abdulmajid Solademi who is also the President of Air Warriors Basketball Club of Abuja appreciated the gesture bestowed on him by the PCRC and promised to do all it takes under his watch and within the ambit of law to ensure a cordial relationship between the police force and the general public especially within the Federal Capital territory.
According to him a good working relationship between the general public and the Nigeria Police Force will ensure a safer society for all to live with one another in peace.
The decoration of Matrons and Patrons is both symbolic and strategic, aimed at strengthening community policing initiatives in the Federal Capital Territory. By incorporating respected individuals from various fields, the PCRC is expanding its network for intelligence gathering, conflict resolution, and public sensitization.
The initiative reflects modern policing approaches that emphasize shared responsibility in ensuring security. Community leaders, religious figures, business executives, and public office holders all play vital roles in promoting vigilance and supporting law enforcement efforts.
The ceremony marks a significant step in deepening collaboration between the police and the public, reinforcing the PCRC FCT Command’s commitment to building a safer and more secure society through inclusive participation and strategic partnerships.

Cyril Samania
The President of De Norsemen Kclub International (DNKI), Chief Oliver Patrick Ityohegh, has reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to humanitarian service, stressing the importance of supporting vulnerable people and improving community welfare beyond the annual celebration of Humanitarian Day.
Ityohegh stated this during the organisation’s Cauldron Night and Award Presentation held to commemorate its 2026 Humanitarian Day celebration, theme: “Humanity First: Advancing Hope, Dignity and Community Well-being.” organised by the DNKI Abuja Chapter.
He emphasised that humanitarian service should be a continuous responsibility driven by compassion, solidarity and a commitment to making a meaningful difference in society.
According to him, DNKI’s humanitarian activities reflect its dedication to giving back to society and supporting people in need, while encouraging members to sustain initiatives that promote human dignity and community well-being.
He added that the organisation would continue to strengthen its humanitarian engagements through practical interventions aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable people and promoting community development.
Speaking at the event, the representative of the Abuja Chapter Chairman and Chairman of its Advisory Council, Prince Efiong Okpe, said the organisation’s humanitarian activities extended beyond the annual celebration of Humanitarian Day on October 15.
Okpe explained that DNKI undertook several initiatives throughout the year, including blood donation exercises, visits to hospitals and correctional centres, as well as support for orphanages and other vulnerable groups.
According to him, the organisation also collaborated with humanitarian bodies in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to identify areas of need and provide assistance within its available resources.
He described Humanitarian Day as an opportunity for members to renew their commitment to service and demonstrate solidarity with people facing difficult circumstances.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Planning Committee and Coordinator of the DNKI Gwagwalada Zone, Mr Etudaiye Hamzat, disclosed that the chapter had provided financial assistance to some members to help pay their children’s school fees, alongside distributing bags of rice and other relief items to members experiencing hardship.
Hamzat explained that the interventions followed concerns over the difficulties some members faced in meeting their family responsibilities, particularly the rising cost of their children’s education.
He maintained that supporting members in need was consistent with the organisation’s humanitarian principles, adding that DNKI remained committed to extending assistance to non-members and vulnerable communities as part of its commitment to leading by example.
Looking ahead, Hamzat said the Abuja Chapter planned to expand its humanitarian outreach to remote communities within the FCT, with particular attention to orphanages, schools and widows facing difficulties in meeting their family responsibilities.
He also recalled previous interventions for internally displaced persons (IDPs), which included the distribution of food, clothing and educational materials, noting that the chapter intended to scale up such initiatives in the coming year.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of awards to outstanding members and distinguished non-members in recognition of their contributions to humanitarian service.
