A release signed by Anambra PPRO, Tochukwu Ikenna, explained that during the interaction with the stakeholders, the CP emphasized the importance of community policing and calls for an honest and patriotic involvement in identifying and prioritizing people’s differences to develop deliberate plans for addressing the problems.
He also reiterated that there is a common enemy that has restricted people’s movement on Mondays, crippled businesses of Ndi Anambra, and commits havoc in the State.
The CP urged the people to join the Police and other security agencies to “take back our space” and deny these criminal elements the space they use to cause tension in the State.

In attendance at the event were Traditional rulers, Njikoka LGA Executive Council members, members of PCRC, Vigilante operatives, etc.
