Idris made the commendation at a sentforth in Birnin Kebbi yesterday, where he described Sani as a "disciplined, professional and committed officer" who served the state with dedication.

"Security was significantly strengthened in the state under Sani's leadership through improved crime prevention, intelligence-led policing and effective collaboration among security agencies," Idris said. He added that the cordial relationship between the state government and security agencies during Sani's tenure had enhanced timely responses to security challenges and ensured sustained peace and stability across the state.

In his farewell remarks, Sani expressed gratitude to God, the Federal Government, and the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for the opportunity to serve the nation. He also appreciated the support of the Kebbi Government under Governor Idris, saying the administration's commitment to security reforms and provision of critical infrastructure had enhanced effective policing and community trust in the state.
