Insecurity: IG Flags off Anti-cultism Campaign in Enugu

In a bid to tackle the increasing spate of cult-related activities across the geo-political zones in the country, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, in Enugu yesterday flagged off the Police Campaign against Cultism and Other Vices (POCACOV), Igbere TV reports.




Igbere TV reports that the campaign, among other things, is intended to ensure the adoption and implementation of community policing for adequate protection of lives and property of citizens.

Speaking at the ceremony, the police chief said the campaign would not have come at a better time than now when cultism and other vices have permeated every aspect of the society.

Represented by the Assistant Inspector General Zone 9, Tijani Baba, the IGP said the campaign was also in line with the federal government’s resolve to reduce the increasing rate of crime in the society.

According to him, everybody must be involved in the fight against cultism and other vices in order to make sure that the society is safe for all to thrive.

He added that the Nigeria Police Force as part of its efforts to ensure the safety of the citizens is recruiting 40,000 policing officers to take care of various communities across the country.

‘’The officers will functions to complement the efforts of the police in protecting lives. We are drawing the officers from the different communities because they will better understand the various threats in their communities’’ he said.

He said the duty of the officers would be very important because they would serve as a bridge between people in communities and the police in terms of providing information about possible threats.

He called on all relevant stakeholders to partner with the police in preaching the need for all and sundry to work towards a crime-free society.

Also speaking at the event, Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, said the state would continue to partner the police and other security agencies in the state to ensure that all criminal activities are tackled.

Ugwuanyi, who was represented by the state Head of Service, Chidi Nnadi, thanked the Enugu State Police Command for its efforts so far in dealing with crime in the state.

High points of the event were the inauguration of the National Youth Service Corps POCACOV Community Development Service, CDS and the unveiling of POCACOV Ambassadors, including players in the entertainment industry.

As a respected top fan and my obligation to maintain professionalism, I am officially releasing a statement refusing to comment on this post

Hmmm

Enugu killings are not cult related but Fulani herdsmen .misplaced priority

Nice one. Ths decision is timing, before Igbo Cultist will make the East a war zone.

Its like what this people are actually after is to institute insecurity nationwide so it will look as if they are truly overwhelmed, otherwise what has Enugu got to do with cult related insecurity when its Fulani herders causing chaos and disaffection within the host communities??

My own concern is to know when they will launch anti-police extortion campaign Nationwide.
Even most kidnapped victims are transported through police/military checkpoints, as long as you drop something you're good to go.

Come to this points at Aba:
Danfodio road by East str, beside Assemblies of God Church (222 Clifford rd), in the morning before 10:am

River Side Pri Sch. Ngwa rd Aba (soldiers)

OUk bridge head, just before Emelogu (police)

Opobo Rd, Ogbor Hill, just before Magic FM radio. (Police)
...These are extortion points set up by police/soldiers intimidating motorist daily and extorting them.
When will they start a campaign against these??

You put security into the streets to combat insecurity and they turn to the "insecurity"
Rubbish

He is a criminal who have been helping the Fulani Jihadist herdsmen to carryout criminals jihad against Enugu Christians now he is pretending it's cultism.

Enugu is not known for cultism
We say no to Fulani Jihadist Herdsmen and their banditary.
MIYETTI-ALLAH MUST PAY FOR THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THEY SLAUGHTERED

There are a lot of cultists especially at Maryland,esut, and IMT..police should flag those areas and do discreet investigation

Another Python dance in disguise

This people are just wicked, it's not cult related issues but herdsmen killing, see the truth and say the truth

He should go and check the officers and men of the NPF first. They can start from the NPF

You are just naturally dumb sha

Why is it that anytime Herdsmen are involved in a crime, the Federal Government will used a known propaganda approach to involve another groups of a crime they never did?

Mr IG, i think just like your predecessor involved himself in the transmission saga and ended in Daura farm, you are next in line for an object of constant mockery!!!

We are here to help you achieve your target

What a misplaced priority i must say!!!

Good development. While efcc is tackling yahoo guys and the police start tackling cultism just as efcc is doing, I believe there would be a positive impact. Only if they can tackle issues correctly without killing innocent people or over using their force powers

Gtuns:



You are just naturally dumb sha

You're just a Muhammedian terrorist
