The Assistant Inspector General of Police in-charge of Zone-13, Anambra State, AIG Hafiz Mohammed has charged Commissioners of Police under the zone to implore their men to be more diligent in the discharge of their duties of securing lives and property in their respective jurisdictions.
The charge came on the heels of the recent attacks on checkpoints and other Police facilities by unknown gunmen in Anambra State, an emerging criminal action, which might extend to the neighbouring states if not fought headlong.
A release signed by the Zonal Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Nkeiruka Nwode for-Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 13 Anambra State, the AIG urged the officers to brace up and respond with superior vigour and morale against the emerging wind of criminalities in the Zone, as playing into their antics by way of abdicating police responsibilities could leave the society vulnerable and create a safe haven for outlaws.
According to the release, AIG Mohammed advised that the Commands embark on ceaseless raiding of all identified criminal hideouts to flush out all the disgruntled elements.
While advising parents and caregivers to watch their wards closely as all manner of crimes perpetrated in the society sprout through poor child upbringing, the release quoted the AIG of advising the citizens to remain law-abiding as the Police is poised to protecting lives and property in the zone, adding that the force would not fold its arms and watch hoodlums wreak havoc on Police lives and property, public facilities or the citizens.
He thanked the Governors of Anambra and Enugu States for their continued commitments towards actualizing and sustaining peaceful environment through proper care and attention to the Police even as he reassured them that the Zone will not be relent in the fight against any form of crime and criminality in the respective states.
AIG Hafiz charged the officers to work with the traditional rulers, town union leaders, market leaders, vigilante groups and various custodians of culture and tradition.
He beseeched youths to desist from cultism and allied social vices as these have never done anyone any good as their outcome has always been regrettable.
The AIG reiterated the Zone’s commitment towards safeguarding members of the society, charging them to keep partnering the Police as all hands are on deck to forestall future criminal occurrences in the zone.
