Anambra State Commissioner of Police (CP), Ikioye Orutugu, and his Enugu State counterpart, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, met on Monday, March 24, to devise operational strategies aimed at proactively policing the two neighbouring states.
The Commissioners identified the infiltration of criminals between both states as a major security challenge requiring urgent intervention to address the consequent violent crimes and activities of subversive criminal elements.
As a result, they pledged to collaborate, share intelligence, and pool operational resources to combat violent crimes at the boundaries and within their respective states.
In a joint statement sent by the Anambra and Enugu Police Public Relations Officers (PPROs), Tochukwu Ikenga and Daniel Ndukwe respectively, they said that the Commissioners reiterated their commitment to decisively combat all forms of crime and criminality in both States, with the aim of ensuring maximum public security and safety.
They warned criminals operating in the two states to either repent or be ready to face the full weight of the law.
The meeting, which was held at the Anambra State Command Headquarters, Awka, the state capital, was attended by the Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) in charge of Operations and other officers from both Commands.
