The Rivers State Police Command has announced the appointment of Agabe Blessing Kaborlo as its new Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), following approval by the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu.

The development was disclosed in a statement issued on Friday by the outgoing spokesperson, Grace Iringe-Koko.

According to the statement, Kaborlo, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, takes over the role after serving in various operational and administrative capacities within the force.

An indigene of Rivers State from Ogoni in Tai Local Government Area, Kaborlo was commissioned into the Nigeria Police Force in 2023 after completing a five-year training programme at the Nigeria Police Academy, where she earned a Bachelor of Laws degree. She also holds a Master of Laws degree from Rivers State University.

The command said the new spokesperson has undertaken several professional courses, including training in combat operations, counter-terrorism, and leadership development.

It noted that she has demonstrated professionalism and dedication in previous assignments, which include postings at the Divisional Police Station in Okporo, the Human Rights Section, and the Public Relations Office, where she served as Second-in-Command prior to her elevation.

The police command expressed confidence in her ability to strengthen communication and public engagement, assuring residents of continued transparency and improved police-community relations under her leadership.

The appointment comes as part of ongoing efforts by the police hierarchy to enhance information management and public trust across commands.
