On Monday, the Commissioners of Police for Anambra and Enugu States, CP Ikioye Orutugu and CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, convened to develop operational strategies for proactive policing across their two neighbouring States.
A joint statement from the spokespersons of Anambra and Enugu Commands, SP Tochukwu Ikenga and SP Daniel Ndukwe, said that this initiative aligns with the enhanced policing guidelines of the Inspector-General of Police.
Ikenga stated, “The Commissioners identified the cross-border infiltration of criminals as a significant security challenge that necessitates immediate action to tackle violent crimes and the activities of subversive elements. Consequently, they committed to collaborating, sharing intelligence, and pooling operational resources to confront violent crime along the borders and within their respective jurisdictions.”
The Commissioners reaffirmed their resolve to vigorously combat all forms of crime in both States to ensure public security and safety. They cautioned criminals operating in the region to either reform or brace themselves for the full force of the law.
Ikenga further noted that the meeting, held at the Anambra State Command Headquarters, also included the Deputy Commissioners of Police overseeing Operations and other senior officers from both Commands.
