With his 48 years of experience, Leonard Yator was easily the longest serving member of the elite Presidential Escort Unit.

The former officer, who died yesterday, joined the police force at the tender age of 20 years back in 1952. Upon completing training, Yator was deployed as a driver in the police service.
