In a statement on Tuesday by his media aide, Stanley Nkowcha, it was confirmed that, upon arrival, Vice President Shettima took the salute from officers on parade as the ceremony got underway.
“Vice President Kashim Shettima is currently taking the salute from officers on parade as the 2026 National Police Day ceremony gets underway,” the statement read.
The event brings together senior government officials, the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force, security chiefs, and officers drawn from across the federation.
