Brig. Gen. Sawyyer stated this on Friday when he paid a courtesy visit to the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, in his palace.

He added that “There is no doubt that I owe the Ilorin community the gratitude for being what I am today haven attended Government Secondary School, Ilorin. It is therefore on this premise that I pledge my unalloyed loyalty and commitment to you sir and to the security of the people of Ilorin in particular and Kwara State as a whole by extension.
