The visit is in line with the “Igbo Think-Home Investment and Development Philosophy of (Aku-Ruru-Ulo) that promotes good social values and right ideas within the Igbo community.
The two man delegates in a friendly discussion with the commissioner told him that they are at home with him because Enugu State is like a home coming to him, having served in Mopol 3 mobile formation at Garriki in Enugu Smart City before rising to be the exalted position as Police Commissioner for the State.
Interacting with Mr MB Giwa, His Lordship, Justice Ikpeama informed the commissioner that he is a true Nigerian having lived in ancient Kano city for more than 25 years and that for some years he headed the Kano State Sports Counsel (Boxing).
In his own account during this very relaxed and informal interaction amongst the three, Onochiengwu Obuna Esq was happy recounting his experiences during his service year as a (NYSC) member in Gombe State in 1999 where he lectured at the then Social Development Institute (SDI) Kumo now Gombe State Polytecnic. Mr Onochiengwu Obuna vividly remembered how he, with great passion lectured students on citizenship education as well on local government administration in Nigeria. That his students fondly refer to him as Mallam Austin (Augustine being his middle name).
That at his odd hours,he made very effective use of the Almajeris in learning Hausa language.
The commissioner who was overwhelmed by their visit assured them of his willingness to receive them any time they come to his office and ready to provide them with whatever security services they may need from him.
