The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Aderemi Adeoye, has expressed heartfelt appreciation to the government of Anambra State and, specifically, the Awka South Local Government for the historic honour done to him by naming a street after him in the State.
It would be recalled that the Awka South Local Government, named a street after CP Adeoye, known as the ‘CP Adeoye Close’ at Amawbia Town, which is the Local Government’s seat of power and community that plays host to many other federal/state government structures and institutions, including the Governor’s Lodge, the State’s Police Command Headquarters, among others key institutions.
The honour to the CP, which is the first of its kind in the history of the State and the State’s Police Command, has not come without accolades from the residents of the State, who described same as well-deserved and befitting, given the numerous feats recorded by the State’s Police Command under CP Adeoye who is barely 9 months in office as the State’s Police Chief, having assumed office on July 10, 2023.
“Sincerely, I am highly motivated that the government recognizes and finds our modest efforts worthy of appreciation. And I am thankful to Mr. Governor, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, for his magnanimity and large heart, and also to the Chairman of the Awka South Local Government Area (Hon. ThankGod Anagor) for this kind gesture.
“Indeed, I really appreciate this; and it will remain indelible in my memory as long as I live,” he said
Fielding questions on the recent security happenings in the State, the Police Commissioner recounted some of the recent achievements of the Command, especially in areas of rescues of kidnap victims, raiding of insurgents’/gunmen camps and their dislodgement, arrest of criminal elements, and recoveries of snatched vehicles, arms and ammunitions and other incriminating items from the hoodlums.
The CP, however, regretted that amidst this progress that has restored normalcy in the State, some influential persons and enemies of progress are working tirelessly to sabotage the efforts of the security operatives in securing the State, which, he said, resulted to the few security breaches recorded in the State in recent time, which are the attacks on police stations and the cult-related killings that recently surged in Awka.
On the recent gunmen attack on Police Station in the State, the CP said the security operatives went after the hoodlums immediately and have continued to take the battle to them in their camps, which has resulted to the raiding and destruction of many of the insurgents’ hideouts in different parts of the State, including inside forests at Achalla, Ogbunka Aguluezechukwu, and Ogboji communities.
While noting that just one Improvised Explosive Device (IED) can be used to burn down an entire police station, CP Adeoye said the State’s Joint Security Force recovered six IEDs at the Ogbunka insurgents’ camp alone few days ago, also stressing that attacks on police stations in the state would have aggravated, if not for their efforts in battling, defeating and incapacitating the hoodlums.
