Police Warn Disseminators Of Threatening Content On Illegal Sit-At-Home In Anambra State

Posted on May 30, 2024
The Anambra State Police Command has warned criminal elements disseminating threatening voice-overs and violent videos in an attempt to enforce illegal sit-at-home directives and instill fear among the residents of the state. 
The Police, while issuing the warning through SP Tochukwu Ikenga, Police Public Relations Officer, said,
“It is imperative to inform the public that actionable intelligence indicates that these individuals, in their bid to enforce the unlawful sit-at-home order, fabricate threatening voice-over recordings and circulate outdated videos of violent incidents, some of which did not occur within the state or even the country”.
“The Command is fully aware of these secessionist activities and urges the law-abiding citizens of Anambra to disregard such propaganda. Rest assured, the Police, along with other security agencies, have mobilized law enforcement resources to ensure the safety and security of every citizen in the state.”
“As a recent example, on May 29, 2024, at approximately 2:00 PM, Police operatives laid an ambush on miscreants along Oba flyover in Idemili South. This led to the interception of a gang of four armed men operating on motorbikes. During the encounter, one miscreant was apprehended, while the other three managed to evade capture, sustaining bullet injuries in the process. The operatives recovered a locally made Barreta pistol, four expended cartridges, two phones, and incriminating evidence indicative of unpatriotic and disloyal behavior towards the Nigerian government.”
“In light of these developments, the Commissioner of Police, CP Nnaghe Obono Itam, has assured the people of Anambra State that their safety remains the utmost priority of the Police Command. In case of any security concerns, citizens are encouraged to contact the command’s control room at 07039194332 or the respective Area Commands:
