He made the appeal during a visit to the Nodal office of CAC in Kaduna State as part of his familiarization tour of security and regulatory agencies in the state.

The Zonal Head, appreciated the work of CAC especially in responding to requests by the Commission, but sued for the process to be expedited to enhance speedy investigation.
