The Anambra Police Command has solicited for the support of the public in the fight against crime and criminality in the state.
The command made the appeal in a statement released by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, yesterday.
The PPRO in the statement appealed to the public to assist the command with relevant information that would help in fighting crime and criminality in the state.
The appeal came on the heels of a reported attack on an eatery in Oko in Orumba North Local Government Area, where people were allegedly dispossessed of their valuables.
Ikenga stated that incidents of robbery attacks promptly reported to the police could enhance the chances of apprehending the culprits.
He advised those reportedly dispossessed of their belongings in the alleged operation, to come forward with the report and details of the attack.
The statement made available to Ikengaonline read in part: “The Police Command in Anambra wishes to urge victims of the unconfirmed report circulating in the media, tagged ‘Anambra: Gunmen visit eatery on Easter day, rob fun-seekers of their mobile phones, to come forward and report.
“This will help police with the necessary information to investigate and deploy personnel in this regard.
“This will also help to avert such incidents from recurring in the area or any place in the state,” he further stated.
