The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command, CP Ikioye Orutugu fwc MNIPS PhD, has called on residents to support ongoing efforts to restore lasting peace and security in the state by exposing criminal elements operating under the guise of self-government agitation.

He emphasized that the safety and progress of Anambra lies in the collective resolve to say no to violence and criminality in any form.

The Commissioner of Police urged residents to report any suspicious activities or individuals to the police. He assured the public that all reports would be treated with confidentiality and that the police would work tirelessly to ensure that those responsible for crimes are brought to justice.

The public is advised to call the Command Control Room Number on 07039194332 or PPRO on 08039334002 for prompt response in the event of a request for any security services. The police are committed to serving the people of Anambra State and ensuring that the state remains safe and secure for all.
