According to him: “This is in continuation of traditions of the state security architecture of partnering the police and other security agencies in the fight against crime, and to let you know that the state government will always stand with you; this is a token of support.”

“We understand money cannot replace life, but it is a way of showing support to men and officers, who serve in the state.
