He said Government in her wisdom assembled all abandoned Police vehicles in the Command that were littered all over the State and got them refurbished for further use by the Police.
The Governor said it is his believe that the repaired APCs and other vehicles would be deployed to the field for operations as a way to support the police in their determined efforts to reduce crime and criminality to the barest minimum in the society.
Receiving the Armoured Personnel Carriers and other operational vehicles, the Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, Alhaji Aboki Danjuma, said that the vehicles in question were originally procured by the Government and that the same government led by Governor Uzodimma magnanimously undertook to rehabilitate them after they got bad.
He acknowledged that they got dilapidated and damaged as a result of use over time and that a concerned Governor Uzodimma undertook to repair them so that they can be deployed in all areas of the State for the purpose of protecting lives and property as well as fighting crime and criminality.
Danjuma affirmed that the vehicles will be deployed for the purposes they are meant for noting that “the Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) will monitor their management and use, as the vehicles will definitely be used to ensure reduction in crime rate and criminality in Imo State.”
