In a bid to strengthen security measures and combat crime, the Commissioners of Police from Anambra and Enugu States met on March 24, 2025, to devise operational strategies for policing the neighboring states.
CP Ikioye Orutugu of Anambra State and CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa of Enugu State identified the infiltration of criminals between the states as a major security challenge. They pledged to collaborate, share intelligence, and pool resources to combat violent crimes at the borders and within their respective states.
The Commissioners reiterated their commitment to decisively combating all forms of crime and ensuring maximum public security and safety. They warned criminals to either repent or face the full weight of the law.
The meeting, held at the Anambra State Command Headquarters, was attended by Deputy Commissioners of Police and other officers from both commands.
This development is in line with the enhanced policing guidelines of the Inspector-General of Police, aiming to proactively address security challenges in the region.
