Anambra and Enugu
Police Commands Collaborate to Combat Border CrimesOn March 24, 2023, the
Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, and his Enugu State
counterpart, CP Mamman Giwa, met to devise joint operational strategies aimed
at tackling cross-border criminal activities between the two neighboring
states.
The meeting was part of an effort to enhance policing guidelines set forth by
the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun. According to the Anambra
State police spokesman, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the commissioners identified the
infiltration of criminals between the states as a major security challenge
requiring urgent intervention to address violent crimes and the activities of
subversive criminal elements.
The collaborative approach between the Anambra and Enugu Police Commands is
intended to proactively police the border areas and combat transnational crimes
that have plagued the region.
“As a result, they
pledged to collaborate, share intelligence, and pool operational resources to
combat violent crimes at the borders and within their respective states. “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 also 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, was attended by the
Deputy Commissioners of Police in charge of Operations and other officers from
both Commands,” the statement concluded.
