Anambra Security Wins Praise from Retired AIGs
By Chizoba Njaka
Anambra State experienced a significant influx of returnees during the latter months of 2025, a trend widely attributed to the enhanced security measures and consistent policing efforts across the state.
Building on this success, the Anambra State Police Commissioner, CP Ikioye Orutugu, received retired senior police officers of Anambra origin and others at the Command Headquarters, Awka.
The retirees, who paid separate courtesy visits to his office, commended the Command for the notable improvements in security and the resultant increase in public trust, particularly during the high-risk period characterized by increased travel, festivities, and gatherings.
CP Orutugu expressed gratitude for their visits, attributing the large-scale return of indigenes to the improved safety, intelligent policing, and community partnerships.
He acknowledged the retirees' past service, sacrifices, and professionalism, recognizing their contributions as foundational to the achievements of the modern police force. Those in attendance included AIG Felix Osita Uyanna, former AIG of Police Mobile Force, Force HQ Abuja; AIG Usman A. Gwari, ex-AIG Zone 9 Umuahia and, CP Emmanuel Ojukwu, former Force Public Relations Officer; as well as other distinguished retirees.
The meetings concluded on a positive note, with appeals for continued mentorship, collaboration, and support for the Nigeria Police Force's efforts to maintain peace, law, and public safety.
