Tinubu: Police Tighten Security In Imo

he Imo State Police Command says it has beefed up security as President Bola Tinubu pays a working visit to the state on Tuesday September 30.

In a statement signed by its spokesman DSP Henry Okoye, the command said it is working in collaboration with sister security agencies to maintain water-tight security throughout the president’s stay in the state.

It disclosed that security personnel had been deployed to all entry and exit points as well as along the route from Sam Mbakwe Airport to Owerri metropolis and other local government areas.

The statement added; “Furthermore, Operation Show of Force and Visibility Patrols have been deployed across the three senatorial districts of Imo State to reassure residents, deter criminal elements, and ensure total security coverage before, during, and after the visit.

“In addition, the Police, in synergy with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), have adequately deployed Traffic Wardens to identified traffic congestion-prone areas to ensure free flow of traffic and ease of movement across Owerri Metropolis and other strategic LGAs.

“The Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, CP Aboki Danjuma, assures Imolites and visitors of their safety and enjoins them to remain law-abiding, cooperate with security personnel, and adhere to traffic diversions and other arrangements put in place for the success of the visit.

“The Command strongly warns all criminally minded elements intending to cause disruption or foment trouble that security agencies remain united, vigilant, and fully prepared to decisively respond to any breach of peace. Anyone caught engaging in acts capable of undermining the security architecture of the State will be promptly arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law.

“The Command also urges members of the public to promptly report any suspicious activities or persons to the nearest Police Station or through the Command’s emergency lines.
“Together, we will ensure a peaceful and secure environment before, during, and after the Presidential visit.”
