Fear In Anambra As IGP Deploys Special Forces, New Police Commissioner

The streets are Awka and other urban areas of Anambra state are not safe, as many residents now live in tea due to the heinous activities of the so called unknown gunmen.

As part of measures to arrest the situation, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, has deployed a new Commissioner of Police to the state, after a spate of deadly gun attacks in the troubled South-east state.

“The IGP has also ordered the deployment of a detachment of NPF Special Forces to Anambra State to bolster and complement the ongoing peace-building efforts of the Nigeria Police Operation Restore Peace in Anambra State."

CP Echeng Eworo Echeng who was in charge of Bayelsa state has been moved to Anambra as the new Commissioner of Police.
