Anambra Police Launch Crackdown on Cult Groups to Restore Peace and Security

In a bid to restore peace and security in Anambra State, the Commissioner of Police, Ikioye Orutugu, has ordered a clampdown on unlawful gatherings in the state. This decisive action follows intelligence reports suggesting that cult groups, particularly the Neo-Black Movement of Africa, plan to execute activities that could lead to public disorder.

The police commissioner has stepped up security deployment, including the School Protection Squad, to prevent cult initiations and reprisals in student-populated areas. The operatives have been directed to be on the offensive, and covert operations will be conducted at motor parks, identified spots, and other areas to nip potential threats in the bud.

Hotel and bar owners have also been alerted to refuse hosting gatherings associated with cult groups. This move is aimed at preventing cultists from using these establishments as hideouts or meeting points.

The Anambra State Police Command has been working tirelessly to maintain peace and security in the state. The Schools Protection Squad, an initiative of the Inspector General of Police, is designed to protect schools, students, and institutional infrastructure.

As the police crack down on cult groups, citizens are urged to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities or threats to the police. The Anambra State Police Command is committed to maintaining peace and security in the state, and this latest move is a testament to their dedication to protecting the public.

With this new era of security, Anambra State is poised to become a safer and more secure place for residents and visitors alike. The police command's efforts to prevent cult activities and promote peace will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the state's social and economic development.
