Posted by Commissioner for Home Land Security Modestus Osakwe met with heads of Imo State’s security agencies to discuss how to beef up the state’s security infrastructure and guarantee sufficient public safety.
In attendance at the gathering at the Naval Base in Oguta LGA were numerous security officials, including those from the Nigerian Army’s 34 Artillery Brigade Obinze, the Nigerian Air Force’s Oguta Naval Base, the Nigerian Police’s Imo State Command, the Director of the Department of State Security Service, the Comptroller of Immigration, the Nigerian Civil Defense, and others.
The discussion is centered around proactive methods to eradicate criminalities and other violent crimes in the state for the benefit of the state’s economic growth and prosperity, according to a press statement sent by the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Henry Okoye.
“The security chiefs were able to critically examine current concerns pertaining to the state’s peace and safety during the meeting.
So, in order to crack down on the criminals responsible for the recent pockets of assaults in the state, joint security operatives were sent on intelligence-led operations, raided suspected criminal hideouts, and patrolled the state continuously.
In carrying out their legitimate responsibilities, the agents were ordered to “preserve the rule of law and maintain the highest level of alertness,” according to the press statement.
According to ASP Okoye, CP Aboki Danjuma, the state’s commissioner of police, used the event to remind the public to continue supporting law enforcement and other security agencies by reporting suspicious activity to 08034773600 or the police if they see anything suspicious in their area. ASP Okoye also warned that people would face serious legal consequences if they continued to drive with tinted windshields, unauthorized sirens, or covered or nonexistent license plates.
Additionally, the press release added that the state’s commitment to cooperate with other security agencies to guarantee the utmost safety and security of people and properties has been underlined by the police commissioner.
