AWKA- The Police Command in Anambra has arrested 200 suspects for their alleged involvement in various crimes and secured 100 convictions between Feb.10 and August.
Orutugu said that during the period under review, the command employed an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) strategy to manage several communal disputes.
“Including the mediation of the long-standing boundary crisis between Ikenga and Isiokwe villages in Umueri and Aguleri.”
According to him, these efforts significantly helped to de-escalate tensions without resorting to violence.
“To deepen community engagement, the command also trained vigilance operatives across the state on lawful conduct, crime scene management, and intelligence gathering,” he told NAN.
The CP noted that the command ensured a hitch-free visit by President Bola Tinubu on May 9 and facilitated a peaceful by-election in the state on Aug. 16.
According to him, the command is fully prepared for the forthcoming governorship election scheduled for Nov. 8.
“We have done our homework with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). We are just waiting for Nov. 8,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Orutugu assumed office as the 35th CP on Feb. 10.(NAN)
