Anambra State House of Assembly has passed a resolution urging Governor Chukwuma Soludo to call the attention of the Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command to return police checkpoints and patrol teams at intermittent positions in and around the state.
The House passed the resolution following a motion of urgent public importance sponsored to that effect by the member representing Ekwusigo Constituency, Honourable Onyebuchi Offor during plenary.
Our Correspondent reports that Honourable Offor explained that the absence of police checkpoints and patrol teams is a security threat to the state as armed non-state actors could take advantage of it to perpetrate crime in the state.
The lawmaker maintained that if police checkpoints and patrol teams return on the roads, it will help in securing lives and property, especially along identified blackspots where crimes usually occur.
