Anambra State Police Command has said that indigenes of the
State who intend to hold events must notify it to provide security.
The State Commissioner of Police, CP Echeng Echeng said this
is in view of two attacks by gunmen on burial ceremonies in the State.
Echeng assured the State of improved security service
delivery and the Command’s readiness to contain any security situation.
A press release by the State Police Command’s Spokesperson,
DSP Toochukwu Ikenga said the Commissioner showed worry over an attack,
weekend, by gunmen at a burial in Nnewi South Local Government Area.
“The CP urged the good people of Anambra to always inform
the police and other security agents of the venue, date and time of their
events. This shall enable police access the area to make sure no security
breach is experienced before, during and after the activity,” he said.
Two weeks ago, some persons suspected to be cultists had
invaded the venue of a burial and shot dead about 20 persons.
Ikenga, in the press release, said: “On the two unfortunate
incidents witnessed in the State, the police were not informed of these burial
events before it began.
“The Command wishes to inform the general public on the
incident in Ebenebe, Awka North LGA, that it was not informed.
“On the Ndingbu village, Nnewi-North LGA, the police have
arrested some persons aiding the ongoing investigation and have recovered a
Toyota Camry used by the attackers. Operation is still ongoing aimed at
rescuing the abducted and arresting the perpetrators to bring them to book.”
