As part of ongoing efforts to strengthen law enforcement capacity and deepen security across Anambra State, Governor Chukwuma Soludo has donated 30 operational vehicles to the state command of the Nigeria Police.

Recall that last year, the state government also donated 170 operational vehicles to security agencies in the state to boost crime fighting and provide security in all parts of the state.

Speaking during the handover ceremony, Governor Soludo reflected on the imperative of security, recalling that in January last year, his administration launched the Agunechemba law alongside Operation Udo Ga Achị, a joint task force designed to combat the wave of criminality that once ravaged many parts of Anambra.

He observed that twelve months after donation, there has been a remarkable difference as there has been marked improvement in peace and order in the state and commended the security agencies for their unwavering vigilance,

“Thanks to the security agencies for keeping awake to make sure we sleep. These efforts encouraged a mass return of Anambra indigenes to their communities this Christmas because they were confident of their safety in their homeland", the governor said.

He emphasized that security remains a top priority of his administration, adding that because it is too important, It is a continuous work in progress.

Receiving the vehicles on behalf of the Police Command, the state Commissioner of Police, Ikioye Orutugu, expressed gratitude to the governor for the augmentation in resources.

He noted that the vehicles are critical tools for effective policing and rapid response to threats, assuring that the donation is expected to improve patrol, curb criminal activities, and reinforce the state’s positive security trajectory.
