As part of the ongoing engagements with critical stakeholders ahead of the November 8 Anambra governorship election, the state Commissioner of Police, Ikioye Orutugu, has intensified the non-kinetic approach to peace - building by engaging key religious leaders and societal influencers, urging them to use their positions and platforms to promote peace, unity, and patriotism across the state.

The CP made this call when he received the founder of the Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry, Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere (aka Odumeje), who paid a courtesy visit to the Police command headquarters in Awka on Thursday.

Welcoming the prophet, CP Orutugu reiterated that the Police, under his leadership, will continue to engage all segments of the society to ensure a peaceful and credible electoral process.

He emphasized that leaders, especially those with moral and social influence, have a duty to guide their followers towards peace, lawful conduct, and love for the nation, particularly in times of heightened political activity.

The CP enjoined the clergy and faith-based organizations to partner with the Police in enlightening their congregations on the importance of peaceful participation and respect for law and order during the election period.

In his remarks, Prophet Ohanaemere commended the Police Command for its open-door engagement and prayed for divine protection and wisdom for the leadership of the Force.

He assured the Commissioner of his continuous prayers and support towards achieving a peaceful election in the State.
