The meeting which was held in the office of the Commissioner of Police at the Command’s headquarters, Owerri, provided an opportunity for the security chiefs to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the security challenges bedevilling the state and brainstorm on workable collaborative strategies to mitigate them.

The security chiefs used the meeting to deploy the state’s Joint Task Force strategically in synergy with the local vigilantes to embark on intelligence-led raids of criminal hideouts and dominate the entire security space of the State while maintaining the highest level of alertness and professionalism.

Recognizing the importance of citizen’s participation in the onslaught against crimes, CP Danjuma calls on ‘Ndi Imo’ to continue to support the Police and other sister security agencies in the State with timely and actionable information on any suspicious person seen or clandestine activity observed their vicinity.

The CP reaffirms the Command’s unwavering commitment to upholding the rule of law and professionalism while collaborating with other sister security agencies to ensure public safety.

He said that the suspect is currently undergoing a thorough investigation and will certainly have his day in court.

The Imo State Commissioner of Police commended the men for a job well done, however, tasked them to sustain the tempo in the fight against all forms of violent crimes

He urged the good people of Imo State to continue to support the Police and other security agencies with actionable information that will assist in safeguarding the State as security is everybody’s business.
