 PRESS BRIEFING BY THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE, ANAMBRA STATE COMMAND CP IKIOYE ORUTUGU, fwc MNIPS PhD AT THE ANAMBRA STATE POLICE COMMAND HEADQUARTERS, AWKA ON 17TH DECEMBER, 2025 On behalf of the Officers and Men of the Anambra State Police Command, I warmly welcome you to this media briefing today, 17th December 2025, as the year draws to an end. As the lead agency in internal security, the Nigeria Police Force recognizes that the ultimate assessment of our performance rests with the good people of Anambra State. While we acknowledge that we are not yet where we aspire to be in achieving total security, it is important to emphasize that the cooperation, trust, and timely support we received from residents significantly contributed to the successes recorded during the year under review. Throughout the year, the Command observed fluctuations in crime patterns, largely influenced by socio-economic realities and evolving security dynamics across the country.

No Ikoyi Lagos properties sold by NDLEA

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA has described claims in an anonymous write up going round on WhatsApp platforms that a certain former Chairman/CEO of the Agency sold off its headquarters office buildings in Ikoyi, Lagos, leaving officers and men stranded, as a total distortion of facts.

The Agency wishes to state that buildings referred to in the circulating piece, which did not belong to it in the first place, served as its National Headquarters before its relocation to Abuja some years ago. It should be noted that a Presidential Implementation Committee (PIC) on Federal Government Landed Properties took over the buildings following a government directive that all vacated or underutilised government properties be taken over by the PIC, sold and proceeds paid to federal government coffers.

At the time of relocation, 70% of the Agencys headquarters staff moved to Abuja while the remaining 30% are still in Shaw road office, Ikoyi. This remaining 30% will soon join the main headquarters in Abuja as soon as the new HQ building, recently bought by the federal government for the Agency is ready for occupation.

Like other federal government agencies whose properties were taken over by the PIC, NDLEA has no hand in the sale of the mentioned properties and does not know who bought them and for how much, as the presidential committee solely handled the sale.

The challenge before the Agency at the moment is how to remove our officers and men who live within communities where they are exposed to dangers into secure barracks accommodation, a concern already being addressed by the federal government through budgetary provisions for the construction of such barracks across the country beginning from this year.

Members of the public are therefore urged to disregard the anonymous write up which is nothing but an embodiment of distortion and mischief.
