The Anambra State Commissioner of Police (CP) Monday Kuryas has reiterated the Command’s commitment to delivering on its mandate of ensuring that peace, safety and order reign supreme in all nooks and crannies of the state.

He gave the assurance against the backdrop of the successful repelling of an attack by some armed hoodlums on Mgbakwu Police Outpost, Awka North LGA, in the early morning hours of yesterday, Sunday, March 21, 2021.

The hoodlums armed with guns and dangerous weapons had attempted to burn down the Station but were successfully repelled by the Police personnel on duty.

A statement by the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Ikemba Tochukwu, reads in part: “The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Kuryas has assured Ndi Anambra that the Command is not deterred by the criminal actions of some unscrupulous individuals and groups in the State hell-bent on fomenting and unleashing violence and mayhem in the State.

“Meanwhile, the CP warns the criminals not to test any further the resolve and ability of the Police and other security agencies in the State to apprehend and bring them to book.

“He calls on Ndi-Anambra to, in unity, speak-out against the unwholesome and unwarranted criminal attack on security agencies and critical infrastructure in the State. He also calls on them to avail the security agencies with information that will lead to the arrest and prosecution of these criminal elements.”
