The Police Command in Anambra has positioned its personnel at strategic locations across the state to ensure safety of residents and visitors during the yuletide festivities.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Tochukwu Ikenga, disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Awka.
“Operatives of the Anambra Police Command have dominated strategic locations across the state, including major roads, markets, worship centres, motor parks, and recreational areas, to ensure the safety of residents and visitors.
“This is as social activities heighten in the state during this festive period,” he said.
Ikenga said that under the arrangement, the eight Area Commanders across the state have been ordered to step up supervisory duties to ensure proper coordination and effective deployment of personnel within their respective jurisdictions.
According to him, the areas include: Onitsha, Ihiala, Oraifite, Awka, Aguata, Otuocha, Ogidi, and Nnewi.
He also said that Tactical Teams and Joint Security Forces have also intensified security patrol operations across the state.
The Command encouraged residents to go about their lawful activities without fear, reassuring the public of its continued commitment to maintaining peace, safety, and order throughout the celebrations and beyond. (NAN)
