AIG Victor Olaiya stated this when the executive members of Crime Reporters Global Nigeria paid him a courtesy visit in his office in Abuja.

He stressed the importance of responsible Journalism in promoting transparency, trust and accountability within the policing system.

“There is a need for continued collaboration and steadfast support towards the advancement of public safety and the promotion of a more secure society”

Earlier, the National Chairman of Crime Reporters Global Nigeria, Mr Tita Onyebuchi, said the visit was aimed at strengthening relationship between the media and Police towards ensuring a crime free society.
