The Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, Ikioye Orutugu, says President Bola Tinubu’s hitch-free visit to Anambra State has confirmed that the South-eastern state is now safe.
Mr Orutugu spoke on Thursday evening while commending security operatives for ensuring improved security during the presidential visit to Anambra State.
President Tinubu visited the state on Thursday to commission some projects executed by the state Governor, Charles Soludo.
He said the state police command believes that prioritising security coordination and collaboration was “a proactive approach” to addressing security concerns and promoting a safer, more secure environment for all.
Like other states in Nigeria’s south-east, security has deteriorated in Anambra State with frequent attacks by armed persons in recent times.
The attacks often target security agencies, government officials and facilities.
Hundreds of people have been killed or abducted, and several others injured in some of such attacks in the region.
Ihiala is among the communities that have witnessed some of the deadly attacks in the state.
To check the growing insecurity, Governor Soludo, in March, signed the Anambra State Homeland Security Bill 2025 into law, establishing the Agunechemba as offficial vigilante group in the state.
