Speaking at the ‎presentation of certificates for weapons handling by the commandant of the 177 Guard Battalion at the ICPC headquarters, the Chairman of the Commission, Ekpo Nta said with the training, the officers and men of the Commission were better equipped  to tackle crimes as law enforcement agents.
