The Anambra State Police Command has rescued an unconscious man found along the Onitsha/Owerri Road in Okpoko, near Dozzy Filling Station.
The Command also paid the second-term school fees of five outstanding pupils as part of its commitment to promoting education and nation-building in the state.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, police operatives attached to the Okpoko Division discovered the yet-to-be-identified elderly man lying unconscious by the roadside during a routine foot patrol.
According to the statement, the officers immediately rushed the victim to a hospital, where he is currently receiving medical attention.
Ikenga said the Command is deeply concerned about the condition of the victim and appealed to members of the public who may have useful information regarding his identity, family, or place of residence to report to the Okpoko Police Division or contact the Command for necessary action.
In another development, the Command fulfilled a promise made during activities marking the National Police Day celebration by paying the second-term school fees of five pupils who distinguished themselves academically in their various schools and classes.
Ikenga explained that the gesture was aimed at encouraging academic excellence, supporting education, and promoting sustainable nation-building in Anambra State.
He further stated that the Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, fwc, mnips, PhD, reaffirmed the Command’s commitment not only to maintaining law and order but also to supporting initiatives that positively impact the lives of Ndi Anambra, particularly the younger generation.
“The Command therefore reassures residents of its resolve to continue combining effective policing with people-oriented programmes that foster trust, compassion, and community development,” the statement added.
