 PRESS BRIEFING BY THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE, ANAMBRA STATE COMMAND, ON SIX MONTHS IN OFFICE


Distinguished members of the press, ladies and gentlemen,


It is my honour to address you today 9th September, 2025 as we take stock of the achievements, challenges, and progress recorded in the last six months since my assumption of duty as Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command.


Upon assumption, we made a firm commitment to restore public confidence in policing, strengthen collaboration with sister agencies, and ensure that Anambra remains a safe and secure state for all residents and visitors.


I was confronted with several pressing security concerns, including the disturbing case of a suspect who had escaped custody after being implicated in the kidnapping and murder of Honourable Justice Azuka, as well as other related security issues.


We began by engaging and visiting key security stakeholders to improve cooperation, strengthen intelligence sharing, and enhance operational support for the Police and other security agencies. This partnership has enhanced intelligence gathering, community cooperation, and timely crime reporting


In a decisive move to combat kidnapping, violent crimes, and other criminal activities, the Police Command, in collaboration with other security agencies, launched Operation Zero Kidnapping. This joint operation has significantly disrupted the activities of criminal gangs and brought the rate of kidnapping in the state to zero.


In the past six months, the Command has recorded significant achievements, including:


Recovery of over 300 arms, 20 explosives, more than 1000 ammunition, and more than 30 vehicles.


Destruction of more than five criminal camps.

Arrest of over 200 suspects, including cultists, separatist agitators, and armed robbers.


Secure convictions of more than 100 suspects on cases bordering sexual assualt, armed robbery, kidnapping, and other volient crimes 


One of the notable successes was the re-arrest of the suspect involved in the kidnapping and murder of Honourable Justice Azuka. This breakthrough underscores our unwavering resolve to ensure that perpetrators of heinous crimes are brought to justice, no matter how long it takes.


The Command has explored the use of Alternative dispute resolution to resolve so many communal crises including  the boundary dispute between Ikenga and Isiokwe villages in Umueri and Aguleri and others 


Furthermore, the Command leveraging on the Platform of Police Officers' wives Association’s (POWA) efforts to promote a positive Police - Community Relationship with the people of Anambra State by actively involved in various initiatives, including Empowering women through skills training and economic empowerment programs, providing support to Police officers and their families through counselling and welfare services,  organizing community outreach programs and charitable initiatives.


Recognising the vital role of community-based security structures, the Command organised training and orientation programmes for vigilante operatives across the state. The focus was on crime scene management, suspect handling, intelligence sharing, and lawful conduct in security operations.


To further note improve safety, the State successfully hosted the President Federal Republic of Nigeria, also the Command was able to maintain security during the last by-election in the state. The resident now holds ceremonies without fear of any security concern.


With the support of stakeholders, the command has renovated key facilities, including the Rapid Response Squad at Akwuzu, Aminchi Police Station, and several other police formations across the state.


These achievements have earned the Command multiple awards and commendations, including Best Crime-Busting Command of the Year by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), FCT Council.


In conclusion, while challenges remain, our results so far reaffirm that with sustained collaboration, professionalism, and community trust, we can keep Anambra safe. I commend the command's officers and men, our sister agencies, and the good people of Anambra State for their support.


Thank you for your attention.
