To strengthen internal security collaboration across Anambra State, Prince Ken Emeakayi, the Special Adviser on Community Security to Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has convened an important meeting with local vigilante groups and security company owners in the State. This initiative aims to coordinate and integrate their activities within the framework of the state’s Homeland organization.
Prince Emeakayi emphasized the significance of Section 7 of the Anambra Homeland Security Laws of 2025, which mandates that any private security firm operating in the state must register with the State Government after fulfilling other necessary regulatory criteria.
This announcement was conveyed in a press release issued by Comrade Nweke Nweke, Media and Publicity Secretary for Agunechemba, and was shared with journalists in Awka.
The release underscores that, per the state’s internal security regulations, all security firms and armed personnel associated with employers statewide must be officially registered to ensure proper management and accountability.
“An invitation has been extended to all private security firms and their personnel in Anambra State for a vital meeting this Friday at ASTUC Hall within the old Government House in Awka, set for 12 noon”. Emeakayi insists that attendance is mandatory.
Nweke underscored the meeting’s significance, asserting that it would enable the state government to better manage the misuse of arms and rectify the inappropriate utilization of internal security resources. He cautioned that non-compliance with this directive may result in consequences.
“This is the first meeting of its kind since Prince Ken Emeakayi took on his role as the Special Adviser on Community Security to Governor Soludo, and it is incredibly important. It will offer a valuable chance to exchange crucial security intelligence with our committed crime fighter, (Prince Ken Emeakayi). I am confident that all attendees will gain significant insights into security issues,” Nweke remarked.
