The Anambra State Police Command has reported a growing wave of public support for its renewed security efforts under Operation Udo Ga Achi – Zero Kidnapping, aimed at tackling violent crimes and restoring peace across the state, especially on Mondays.
In a press release issued today, April 21, 2025, by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, noted that residents across Anambra have expressed exhaustion over criminal elements who have continued to disrupt peace and paralyze economic activities, particularly through the notorious Monday sit-at-home enforcement.
“The people of Anambra have had enough. They are tired of these threats to their peace and economy,” the statement read. “There is now a stronger commitment among residents to collaborate with security agencies and expose criminal elements.”
CP Orutugu commended the growing resilience of the citizens and pledged the Command’s unwavering commitment to community-focused policing, intelligence-driven operations, and the rule of law.
The ongoing Operation Udo Ga Achi has seen the deployment of joint security patrols and Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) in strategic locations, including Awka, Nnewi, Ihiala, Onitsha, Ogidi, and Otuocha. These measures are designed to build public confidence and ensure the safety of all residents.
The Anambra Police Command reassures citizens that it will continue to intensify its efforts until all forms of violent crimes are uprooted and a peaceful, secure environment is fully restored. GMTNewsng
