From Zone 2 he was deployed to Force Headquarters Abuja as AIG in charge of community policing.

He said the new PSC is building a new Police that will be the pride of the Nigerian people, free of corruption but full of vigour and determination to serve.
He noted that the Commission will continue to partner with the Police to ensure that it succeeds in its primary duty of protecting lives and property and dismantling crime and criminality.
He congratulated DIG Ari and charged him to go and give his best in the service of his fatherland.
