The Imo State Police Command has deployed heightened security measures at the federal and state secretariats, as well as other public institutions, following threats of attack by criminal elements in Owerri, the state capital. The move is aimed at preventing any potential assaults and ensuring the safety of civil servants and the general public.
State Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma, along with his management team, made a reassuring visit to both the Federal and State Secretariats to address the concerns of civil servants in light of recent threats purportedly issued by the proscribed IPOB/ESN terrorist group.
During the visit, CP Danjuma engaged directly with the civil servants, offering them assurances of the Command’s commitment to their protection. He detailed the deployment of well-equipped operatives and the implementation of enhanced security strategies to maintain a safe working environment across the state.
“We have mobilized our forces to ensure that your safety is our top priority,” Danjuma stated, emphasizing the readiness of the police to counter any potential threats.
In response, the State Head of Service, Barr. Raymond Ucheoma, commended CP Danjuma for his proactive approach in addressing the security threats. He noted that the deployment of robust security measures at the secretariats has provided workers with the confidence needed to perform their duties effectively.
