The Police Command in Anambra has come out to say that the order given by Ag. IGP Usman Baba to take the war against crime and criminals to the dens of the perpetrators has nothing to do with innocent citizens.

DSP Toochukwu Ikenga, the Police Public Relations Officer in Anambra, recently revealed this via a statement in Akwa Ibom.

According to him, the call is simply a deliberate effort by the Police high command to stabilise security order in the South East, so citizens should not feel threatened.

Ikenga added that the present Police high command is very concerned about the recent increase in crime in the zone, especially the deliberate attacks on security agents and our national assets.

His words, “The operation is unique and targeted to restore peace, law and order, we therefore urge Anambra residents to work with the Police and other security agents.”

“I want to assure everybody that this operation is people driven, and at every time shall be reviewed to address issues.”

“It is not against innocent and lawful members of the society.”

“The fact that he stayed this long before finally opening up on where his loyalty lies goes to show that he has been a mole, a sheep in wolves clothing and a traitor to the people of Cross River State, the PDP family in the State, the people of South-South Nigeria and the entire PDP family nationwide.”

“I did not expect him to stay this long. I had hoped that after the 2019 election he would be decamping even before the swearing-in because his body language towards the affairs of PDP in Cross River State and South-South PDP and the recent Southern Governors meeting has been a case of PDP by day and APC by night.”

“With the abysmal performance of the ruling APC, it beats my imagination to see why any patriotic Governor in his right sense would want to join such a party. It only goes to show that Governor Ayade is decamping to pursue his selfish and ignoble political interest at the detriment of the people of Cross River state.”

“His decamping is good riddance to bad rubbish, the likes of Governor Ayade has been a cog in the wheel of progress of our great party.”

“As the leading opposition party in the country and him leaving the fold at this crucial times will only strengthen the bond of unity and togetherness required to move our party forward and be better prepared to dislodge the failed and dysfunctional APC led government that has brought so much pain and despair to our people over the past six years.”
