The Anambra state Commissioner of Police Mr Echeng Echeng has tasked Christians nationwide and the good people of Anambra to emulate and adopt the selfless lifestyle of Jesus Christ as they join other Christians around the globe to celebrate Easter; the remembrance of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the price for the redemption of mankind.

 

 

 

In a release signed by the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, said that the CP also sued for peaceful co-existence among Nigerians, irrespective of their religious, political and socio-cultural leaning in consonance with the principles and teachings of Christ.

 

 

 

He said that the Area Commanders, Heads of Tactical Units, and Divisional Police Officers have intensified routine patrols and improved operational positioning to protect vulnerable points within their jurisdictions, including major highways, places of worship, residential areas, recreation centres, motor parks, financial institutions, Government, Private Infrastructures and all places of public resorts.

 

 

 

According to the commissioner, they are also directed to ensure that their officers and men conduct themselves professionally in line with the extant laws and standard best practices before, during and after the festival.

 

 

 

The Command is also collaborating with other Security Agencies and Stakeholders within the State to provide adequate security and safety in the state.

 

 

 

The CP while wishing Ndi Anambra a happy, fruitful and hitch-free Easter Celebration, enjoined them to be security conscious and continue to provide the Police with useful information that will assist in tracking down criminal elements in the society.

 

 

 

Residents of the state are encouraged to request any security services by calling the command’s control room numbers on 07039194332 or PPRO on 08039334002 for a prompt response.
