The Anambra and Enugu states police commissioners, Ikioye Orutugu, and Mamman Bitrus Giwa, have devised operational strategies aimed at enhancing interstate policing in the southeast region.

The Nations News reports that the decision of both Anambra and Enugu state commissioners to enhance interstate policing, was in line with the guidelines of the Inspector-General of Police.

The Commissioners identified the infiltration of criminals between the neighbouring States as a major security challenge requiring urgent intervention to address violent crimes and the activities of subversive criminal elements. 

As a result, they pledged to collaborate, share intelligence, and pool operational resources to combat violent crimes at the borders and within their respective states.

In a joint statement signed by the Anambra and Enugu Police public relation officers, Tochukwu Ikenga and Daniel Ndukwe said that the Commissioners reiterated their commitment to decisively combat all forms of crime and criminality in both States, aimed at ensuring maximum public security and safety. 

They also warned criminals operating in the two states to either repent or be ready to face the full weight of the law.

The meeting, which was held at the Anambra State Command Headquarters, was attended by the Deputy Commissioners of Police in charge of Operations and other officers from both Commands.
