The Police Service Commission has announced the removal of Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Obong Nnache Itam amidst rising insecurity in the state.

The Commission has already appointed Livingstein Ikioye Orutugu from Bayelsa State as his replacement.

There has been a surge in criminal activities in the state, including kidnapping, which has sparked widespread concern among residents.

The Police Service Commission's decision is, therefore, seen as a response to the growing security challenges in the state.

According to Ikechukwu Ani, Head of Press and Public Relations, the Commission Chairman, DIG Hashimu Argungu, has charged the new CP to settle down quickly and ensure there is no gap in law and order.

He was alo tasked to dedicate himself to duty and assist in freeing Nigeria from the menace of bandits and deviants.

It was gathered that the Commission's decision has been conveyed to the Inspector General of Police for immediate implementation.
