The Anambra State Police Command has launched a sustained offensive against criminal elements in the state, deploying joint security operatives to identified flashpoints and suspected hideouts. The operations, led by Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations, ACP Harrison Oruruo, aim to flush out criminals from forest areas, bushes, and other suspected hideouts. This effort is part of a coordinated approach to deny criminals safe havens and disrupt their networks.
The exercise is an integral part of the Command's intelligence-driven security strategy to prevent crimes such as kidnapping, armed robbery, and other violent activities. During the operations, security operatives systematically comb identified locations and suspected criminal enclaves while maintaining inter-agency coordination to ensure effective coverage. This approach aims to prevent criminals from regrouping or escaping to neighboring areas.
The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command, CP Nnanna Oji Ama, reaffirmed the Command's determination to sustain the offensive against criminal elements through intelligence-led policing and collaboration among security agencies. CP Oji Ama stressed that the operations are not a one-off exercise but part of a sustained security strategy designed to consolidate existing gains, protect lives and property, and create a safer environment for residents.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Anambra State Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, disclosed that the operations are ongoing and aimed at effectively curtailing criminal activities. The Command urges residents to remain vigilant and support security agencies with credible and timely information that could assist ongoing efforts to rid the state of criminal elements.
The operations involve personnel from other security agencies and Aguanachemba operatives, demonstrating a coordinated effort to tackle insecurity in the state. ACP Harrison Oruruo leads the operations, which have been ongoing for some time, with the goal of dismantling criminal camps and preventing further security threats.
CP Nnanna Oji Ama assured the public that the Command would maintain the momentum of the operations until criminal activities are effectively curtailed. The Commissioner emphasized the importance of collaboration between security agencies and the public in achieving a safer environment for residents to conduct their lawful activities without fear or intimidation.

The Command's sustained offensive against criminal elements is expected to yield positive results in the fight against crime and insecurity in the state.
