Police Beef Up Security In Schools, Churches In Anambra by Moderator101(op): 2:17pm On Nov 23, 2025
The police command in Anambra has stepped up patrols and intensified intelligence gathering, as part of measures to secure schools and churches in the state.

The police public relations officer in the state, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday in Awka.

“The Commissioner of Police Ikioye Orutugu has announced strengthened security measures across schools and Churches in Anambra, as part of a proactive strategy to prevent threats and ensure a secure environment for learning and worship.''

“In line with these developments, the commissioner has directed Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers and Tactical Commanders to intensify their ongoing security patrols, reinforce intelligence-driven operations, among others,” he said.

According to Mr Ikenga, the commissioner reiterated the command’s unwavering dedication to protecting lives and property, assuring residents that the police will continue to adapt and enhance security strategies to meet evolving challenges.

He quoted Mr Orutugu as saying that the command would sustain the already established atmosphere of peace in the state.

The commissioner commended the growing unity of safety consciousness among residents, noting that the people have continued to demonstrate commendable cooperation, vigilance, and the spirit of being their brothers’ keepers.

“This collective commitment has significantly supported the command’s efforts in maintaining peace and security across the state,” Mr Orutugu said.

The police in Anambra are taking proactive measures following recent attacks and kidnappings by suspected bandits in some schools and churches in the Northern part of the country and the South-West.

Is it not sad that the only time you see our police officers fully dressed and ready for action like the picture above is when they’re trying to intimidate innocent protesters or when the peace and livelihood of their oga is threatened?

Most times, this is who they send to protect ordinary citizens like you and me.

Protecting Nigerians and Christians cannot be achieved by federal security institutions, the terrorists control those agencies.

Every state down to community needs to setup civilian JTFs and arm them to protect forests, schools, churches and communities, that is the only way.

Relying on federal security agents, then we'll all be doomed, they will even assist the terrorists to maim, and kill the people.

This was the reason Nnamdi Kanu created esn to protect his people when he saw that the leaders are useless.

I hope my Igbos brothers know that this is what they wish for. They don't want peace in Igbo land and they will be happy if Igbos start killing each other because of the kanu issue. They have deployed police to create fear in the mind of SEners
It baffles them that Nigeria is shaking and there is relatively peace in SE

The hasty sentencing is a bait, that we should not take. They are looking for any excuse to send in soldiers and escalate issues so they can prove that Christians are killing Christians

I hope we can disappoint them this time around and remain peaceful. I hate kanu with passion but he will still be release if they find out their plans failed

Kidnapping is a tough adventure in southeast. It's very hard to kidnap hundreds of people at once in southeast.

It's only in the north that hundreds are kidnapped at once, transported in groups without any resistance from police, army.

What's the duty of police? Is it not to provide security?

I thought they said if God did not watch the city that the watch man watches in Vain ?

christians must reject this and rather use prayer to protect the churches .

Is police more powerful than prayer?

Nigeria flag should be flying at HALF MAST right now but hey... who cares as long as a politician's daughter is not among the kidnapped girls.

But sadly the ESN turned to a killer group killing perceived fellow Igbos viewed as 'sabotoeurs'.

It is necessary. If you think this is about northern terrorists & bandits invasion, you are a learner.
