REPORTER: UCHE NDEKE

The Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, Mr. Echeng Echeng, has directed Heads of Tactical Units, Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) and Heads of Departments (HODs) across all Commands in the area to strictly enforce the pronouncement by Anambra State Government baning touting and self-acclaimed revenue collectors in the State.

Mr. Echeng, who gave the directive at the Anambra State Police Command Headquarters, Awka, enjoined the officers to ensure full compliance, especially at motor parks and other designated places within the state.

A statement by the Police Public Relations Officer in Anambra State, Mr. Tochukwu Ikenga, says “the Commissioner of Police also warns all unscrupulous persons that engage in touting and other unlawful acts to desist forthwith as the police and other security agents have been deployed around the State to arrest and bring to justice any one caught flouting the order.”

The statement reaffirms the commitment of the command towards crime prevention, restoration of law and order and enjoins residents of Anambra State to be vigilant and security conscious at all times and to report all suspicious movements to the police.
