Following his Presidential Commissioning, ASP Oha was posted to the Anambra State Police Command, where he completed his mandatory one-year attachment at the Central Police Station (CPS), Awka. He thereafter served as Crime Officer at CPS Awka and later at B’ Division, Awka, as Patrol and Guard Officer, where he distinguished himself through diligence and commitment to duty.
