The Anambra State Police Command has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining peace and order ahead of the November 8 governorship election, promising to sustain ongoing security training for its officers and men.
The Command’s spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, made this known in a statement issued on Thursday in Awka, saying the initiative is part of efforts to ensure a peaceful, credible, and secure electoral process in the state.
“In a sustained effort to ensure a peaceful, credible, and well-secured governorship election in Anambra, the Police Command has continued to expose its personnel to intensive election security training and refresher courses,” Ikenga said.
He explained that the training is being conducted in partnership with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other stakeholders, covering all Area Commands, Divisions, and Tactical Units.
According to him, the sessions focus on professional conduct during elections, crowd control, intelligence sharing, inter-agency collaboration, and the protection of citizens’ rights.
