While promising to use the award as a spur to do more, he commended his team for their support and urged them to strive to better the records they have set.

The EFCC detective maintained that "I thank my team (the Versatile Team EGS Ibadan) for working very smartly and not only winning big but setting a global record. Even at that we will continue to scale new heights. To me, it is both a pleasure and a rare privilege to have been guided by God and His Mighty Hand to mentor a team of dedicated men and women. Congratulations officers."
