Published by

Heads of security agencies in Owerri the capital of Imo State have held all important security meetings with the reinforcement of the State Joint Task Force (JTF) with adequately equipped operatives.

The high-powered inter-agency meeting convened on Wednesday at the Police Command Headquarters Owerri by the Commissioner of Police Imo State Command CP Aboki Danjuma was necessitated by the series of recent attacks in Ezinihitte Mbaise and Ahiazu Mbaise LGAs by disgruntled elements suspected to be members of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) and the Eastern Security Network (ESN)

In a statement issued Thursday in Owerri by the Police Command Public Relations Officer ASP Henry Okafor, the all-important security meeting, provided an opportunity for security chiefs in the State to carry out an in-depth security threat analysis and cross-fertilize ideas with the view of emplacing enhanced collaborative strategies that will assist in the ongoing crusade against all forms of violent crimes in the State even as we gear towards the yuletide season.

The meeting held in the CP’s office had in attendance the heads of respective security and law enforcement agencies in the State, including; the 34 Artillery Brigade Commander, Oguta Naval Base Commander, Air Force Commander, Director of DSS, NSCDC Commander, Federal Fire Service Commander, FRSC Commander, the Comptrollers of Immigration, Correctional Service, and Customs Service.

The security reinforced the State Joint Task Force (JTF), comprising the Armed Forces, Police, and other security agencies with adequately equipped operatives.

The Police Spokesman said that the JTF has been strategically deployed and mandated to embark on an intelligence-led raid of criminal hideouts and round-the-clock patrol across the nooks and crannies of the State, especially the violent-prone areas.

He said that the meeting has placed the contingency operational plans that will guarantee peaceful celebrations of the yuletide seasons in the state.

The command informed the people of Imo State that the massive deployment of security operatives and ongoing operations is not meant to intimidate them but to flush out criminally minded elements from the State and strengthen their confidence in going about their lawful business.

The CP Danjuma calls on ‘Ndi Imo’ to continue to cooperate with the Police and other sister security agencies by providing timely and actionable information that will assist in the fight against terrorism in the State

The Commissioner of Police reaffirms the Command’s unwavering commitment to upholding the rule of law and professionalism while collaborating with other sister security agencies in the State.
