Anambra State Police Command has stepped up operations against the illegal Sit-At-Home order as the Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu leads advocacy/campaign against such acts.
The CP expressed concerns about how the illegal act has negatively affected the social and economic growth of the State.
He emphasized on the need to educate the public about the negative impacts of the order and promised to promote a return to normalcy in the State.
He said, “This is among the strategies of the new leadership of the Anambra State Police Command to address the attitude of the people on ideology based on crime.
“This includes attack of unsuspecting members of the public, security personnel, kidnapping/abduction of persons and destruction of government infrastructures and other sundry offences.
“Anambra State is blessed with vibrant, energetic and enterprising people full of potential. These potentials can only be fully realized in a peaceful, secure environment.
“The State mainly survives on buying and selling and encourages Ndi Anambra/residents to go about their lawful businesses without fear.”
Assuring that the Police and other security agencies have taken over the streets especially on Mondays and other days to sustain safety in the State, the CP said Police was collaborating with local leaders and stakeholders to address the underlying issues driving the “Sit-At-Home” order and find a lasting solution to the menace.
