CP hails Residents for ignoring sit-at-home directive issued by “criminal elements”
The Commissioner of Police in Anambra, Mr Nnaghe Itam, has lauded the people of the state for sustaining its message of peace by standing up against the illegal sit-at-home order by those he described as criminal elements.
The commendation is contained in a press statement issued in Awka on Thursday by SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state.
According to Ikenga, the CP also praised residents over their decision to stand up against other acts threatening national unity and public peace.
The CP said that Anambra was blessed with vibrant, energetic and enterprising people, full of potential, saying “this can only be fully realised in a peaceful and secure environment.”
He stated that he personally led police security patrol to some identified areas in the state to assess the security deployment and monitor compliance to the operational order.
He also visited schools where the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) was ongoing and was pleased with the on-the-spot assessment of the security arrangement.
The CP charged police personnel deployed for this assignment to be resolute, firm and professional in the discharge of their duties.
Itam urged the people to continue to assist the Police and other security agencies with information towards combating all forms of criminality as well as maintaining public order and safety in the state. (NAN)
