The event, held in Obantoko, Abeokuta, was attended by various dignitaries, including the wife of the Ogun governorship candidate, Yeye Adenike Adebutu, and Ogun PDP Chairman, Dr Abayomi Tella.
During the reception, Sowunmi-Kolapo commended the retired traffic warden, popularly known as Aunty Anifat, for her professionalism, discipline, resilience, and dedication to traffic management during her years of service with the Ogun State Police Command. She described Bello's "infectious commitment to duty" as rare and worthy of emulation.
Sowunmi-Kolapo presented a cheque of N500,000 to Bello, saying the honour was the beginning of greater things to happen in the retired officer's life. She urged other security agents and workers to emulate Bello's outstanding service to the Nigeria Police Force.
