Anambra State Commissioner of Police (CP), Ikioye Orutugu, has reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to supporting the IGP’s reform efforts targeted at enhancing professionalism, discipline, and optimal deployment of police manpower nationwide.
CP Orutugu made this known yesterday in Awka while receiving the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Monitoring Unit on enforcement of police withdrawal from the Very Important Persons (VIPs) escort duties, who were in Anambra State for the exercise.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said in a statement that the Commissioner of Police (CP), Ikioye Orutugu noted that the withdrawal of the officers and men would help to strengthen public policing, improve response capacity, and ensure that more personnel are available for core policing duties across the state.
He said that the command would support the team with additional personnel to help them discharge their duties effectively.
Ikenga said the CP has directed all Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers, and Heads of Tactical Units in the state to provide necessary support for a seamless and transparent enforcement process.
”The Command urged all individuals, organizations, and VIPs affected by the directive to comply fully. The exercise was part of nationwide efforts to reform police operations and improve national security.”
Recall that the IGP, Kayode Egbetokun gave the directive recently, following incessant attacks on places of worship and schools across the country.
