By Praise Chinecherem

Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu on Monday met with his Enugu State counterpart, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa to devise operational strategies aimed at proactively policing the two neighbouring States in line with enhanced policing guidelines of the Inspector-General of Police.

The Commissioners identified the infiltration of criminals between the neighbouring States as a major security challenge requiring urgent intervention to address violent crimes and the activities of subversive criminal elements.

They pledged to collaborate, share intelligence and pool operational resources to combat violent crimes at the borders and within their respective states.

The Commissioners reiterated their commitment to decisively combat all forms of crime and criminality in both States, with the aim of ensuring maximum public security and safety.

They also warned criminals operating in the two states to either repent or be ready to face the full weight of the law.

The meeting, held at the Anambra State Command Headquarters, was attended by the Deputy Commissioners of Police in charge of Operations and other officers from both Commands.
