Following the security assessment of the implications or otherwise of full resumption of all social/commercial and official activities in Anambra State on Mondays, the Police Command has identified a deliberate, recurring pattern of coordinated social media posts aimed at spreading fear, misinformation, and bigotry among the public. These misleading narratives are intended to cause panic, undermine public confidence, and disrupt the peace currently enjoyed in the State.


However, the Command notes with confidence that Ndi Anambra have remained vigilant, discerning, and united, refusing to succumb to such divisive narratives. The resilience, cooperation, and timely sharing of credible information by residents continues to play a critical role in sustaining public order and safety.


The Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, fwc mnips  PhD, in response to these developments today, 1st February 2026 convened an emergency closed-door security meeting with all Area Commanders and Tactical Commanders at the Police Headquaters Awka. The CP directed the immediate intensification of intelligence-led patrols, security surveillance, and proactive policing operations to forestall any threat to lives and property.


The Command reassures the public that adequate security measures have been put in place and urges residents to remain calm, law-abiding, and security-conscious. Members of the public are advised to disregard unverified social media content and to report any suspicious movements or activities to the nearest Police formation or through established emergency channels. In attendance at the meeting were officers in Charge of various Joint security forces across the State, as well as the representative of the State government on security. 


The Anambra State Police Command remains fully committed to maintaining peace, public safety, and the protection of all residents and visitors to the State.
