On Saturday, CP Aderemi Adeoye, the Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, held his formal pull-out procession from the Nigeria Police Force to mark his retirement.
The commissioner, who addressed the guests at the Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square ceremony in Awka, stating that during his tenure, he had trained both domestically and overseas, including in financial education, which had prepared him for the establishment of Alpha Trust Investment Club (ATIC), an investment club, in 2018.
He stated that the club presently has about N20 billion in investments, and that he will be entering the company full-time after retirement.
“I have been through militancy in Niger Delta, Boko Haram in North East, fought IPOB militancy in the South East, and I’m glad that I’m alive today, despite gunfire and bombs we have encountered, I do not have any scar on me.
“I thank the NPF for the opportunity to serve and Nigeria for investing in me through trainings at home and abroad. I have been privileged to be trained in Ghana, England, Israel, California and more.
“I have served abroad in the United Nations, and this career gave me opportunities for self development, and these have prepared me for retirement. It’s been a unique privilege serving in Anambra.
“I’m proud of my men at Anambra State Police Command. You are gallant, heroic and never give up. We didn’t achieve anything through individual efforts but with other sister agencies.
“In 2018, I founded an investment club, Alpha Trust Investment Club (ATIC) Limited. We started it with a modest sum of N54 million, but today we have investments worth over N20 billion. That will be my full time business from Wednesday May 1. We have been investing and now we want to go into full time business and we will in the next 10 years give Dangote a run for his money,” Adeoye said.
