The outgoing Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, CP Aderemi Adeoye, has been conferred with a chieftaincy title in Ogbunka, a community in Orumba South Local Government Area of the state.
The chieftaincy title: Dike Ọchịọha 1 of Ogbunka Kingdom, was bestowed on him on Sunday with the approval of the Anambra State Government.
The title was conferred on him by His Royal Highness Igwe JohnMark Anyaoha, the traditional ruler of Ogbunka kingdom. Also his wife, Mrs. Bolanle Adeoye, was conferred with the chieftaincy title of Adadịọramma 1 of Ogbunka.
Recall that Ogbunka was one of the communities in Anambra State where CP Adeoye and his men destroyed several kidnappers’ and criminal hideouts. They also made some rescues and recoveries that helped secured the lives and properties of the people.
The Police Command, under CP Adeoye’s watch, rescued three kidnap victims, including a reverend father; arrested three suspects; recovered three Pump Action guns; recovered 9 vehicles snatched on gunpoint, among many other feats.
The CP, last weekend, was honoured with a glamorous pull out parade signifying his retirement from Nigeria Police Force on May 1 this year, having served in the Force for the maximum years of 35.
