Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Tony Olofu on Monday led a team of policemen to patrol the state, while also visiting areas where attacks have been registered.
The Commissioner visited the houses of Lagos State Commissioner, Mr Joe Igbokwe and Chu Okongwu, which were burnt down by attackers on Sunday.
In a press release by the state command’s spokesperson, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga, he stated that Olofu also visited the offices of the Department of State Services (DSS), which was attacked on the same day.
Ikenga said the commissioner decided to lead the patrol as a way to boost the confidence of police officers, who have recently become targets for attacks.
The release noted that the CP while condemning the recurring developments of public disturbance and attacks on government facilities and private residences in the state, charged the police personnel to be firm, resolute in resisting attackers, while also charging them to take the battle to the door-step of the perpetrators of the dastardly acts.
The Commissioner reassured the Anambra people of the command’s avowed commitment to do everything within its powers to maintain public security and safety in the State. He further enjoined Anambra residents to remain vigilant, law-abiding and assist the Police and the security community with timely and credible crime prevention information.
