Anambra: Police assure Muslims of Security during Eid al-Fitr celebration

Published on March 28, 2025 at 05:57 PM

The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, has assured Muslim faithful in the state of adequate security during the Eid al-Fitr festival.

The police commissioner provided this assurance on Friday while briefing journalists about the activities of the command in its fight against crime over the past two weeks.

According to Orutugu, the police, as the lead agency in internal security, will continue to collaborate with the military, other security agencies, and local vigilante groups to enhance operational capacity, maintain security dominance, and ensure the safety of all residents.

He also conveyed the Anambra State Police Command’s heartfelt wishes to Muslim brothers and sisters worldwide, especially those in the state, for a joyful Eid al-Fitr celebration.

Orutugu highlighted the successful joint efforts with sister agencies, the Anambra State Vigilante Group, and other security operatives, which led to the rescue of four kidnapped victims, including a Catholic reverend father, and the arrest of over ten suspects.

During the period under review, the police recovered ten firearms of assorted brands, sixteen expended cartridges, forty-six live rounds of ammunition, four vehicles, and other incriminating items.

He said three of the recovered vehicles have already been returned to their rightful owners following proper identification.

Additionally, on March 27, 2025, at approximately 3:05 p.m., operatives from the B Division in Awka, while conducting a stop-and-search operation at Dynamo Junction in Ifite Awka, arrested one Richard Onwugbufo from Ugbulu village, Oraifite. They recovered a Beretta pistol with three live rounds of ammunition from him.
