Anambra police command dispels rumour alleging officer’s involvement in crime

The Anambra State Police Command has dispelled rumours that its officer is involved in aiding kidnapping and other violent crimes in the state.

A press statement by the Command’s spokesperson, Tochukwu Ikenga stated that the video carrying the report is not only false, mischievous, and malicious, but also a calculated attempt to tarnish the image of the Nigeria Police Force and demonize the said officer.

He added that for avoidance of doubt, the officer featured in the video is an Assistant Commissioner of Police who is not serving in the Anambra State Police Command but maintained that the officer remains one of the pride of the Force in character and crime-fighting.

Ikenga noted that the State has continued to record remarkable progress in the fight against violent crimes, particularly kidnapping, saying the achievement is the result of the collective efforts of the residents of the state who are working hand-in-hand with security agencies to condemn and resist criminal activities in the state.

“The sacrifices of our security operatives in safeguarding lives and property are not in vain. We therefore call on the general public to disregard the misleading video and remain resolute in supporting lawful security efforts.

Meanwhile, the Command shall invoke the relevant Cybercrime Laws to ensure that the originators of this malicious content does not go unpunished.”he stated.
