Hussaini served for 32 years in the Nigerian Police Force.
Speaking to newsmen, officers and men of the command at the valedictory event held at the Command’s headquarters, Owerri, Friday, Hussaini said he held no regret joining and serving the force.
Hussaini who retired following age limit of 60 years, appreciated the Inspector General of Police, IGP Alkali Baba Usman, Imo Governor, Sen. Hope Uzodimma and officers of the command for their support which according to him aided his recorded successes in the police profession.
He urged his successor, officers and men of the command to remain committed, impartial, corrupt-free, and always ensure justice, fairness and equity while discharging their respective responsibilities.
The police chief also appealed to Nigerian youths to join the force, stressing that it would help to enhance the depleting manpower, “in order to sustain the efforts to rid Imo State and Nigeria in general of security challenges.”
He said, “I have no regret being a police officer and if I have another opportunity, I will also be a policeman because I really enjoyed myself being in service.
“Today in Imo, I am leaving so much legacy. We were able to stimulate our men and enhanced their operational capacity to combat crimes and criminality in the state.”
