The team, which includes the military, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Department of State Services, Federal Road Safety Corps, and other security agencies.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, made this known in a statement on Monday in Awka.

Recall that IPOB imposed the sit-at-home across the five South East states since 2021.

Ikenga mentioned that the Commissioner of Police in Anambra, Ikioye Orutugu, had urged police operatives and key security stakeholders to ensure continued security dominance, anti-crime efforts, and sit-at-home patrols in the state.

“Orutugu urged collective efforts of residents in condemning any act that threatens national peace and resolve to work together for the betterment of the state.

“The commissioner also assured residents of improved and unified response to security challenges and public safety,” Ikenga said.
