Aug. 22, 2023

The Commissioner of Police in Enugu State, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu, has embarked on a confidence-building patrol and interface with traders and transporters within the state.

Uzuegbu on Monday interfaced with traders, transporters and others within Eke-Obinagu, Emene, Afia Nine, Abakpa, Mayor, Garki markets and transport parks among others during his patrol.

The commissioner used the opportunity of the patrol to encourage citizens to, in line with the pronouncement of Gov. Peter Mbah, help in stopping the illegal sit-at-home order in the state.

The commissioner called on the good people of Enugu State to go about their lawful businesses without any form of fear or intimidation on Mondays.

“This patrol is to entrench a policing pattern/initiative that is Grassroots-driven, Proactive, People-oriented and Problem-solving (G-3Ps).

“The G-3Ps initiative will ensure the security and safety of the people; as it remained topmost on my policing agenda for the state,” he said.

Uzuegbu also noted that the police, working with other security forces and law-abiding citizens, would remain undaunted in stabilising security and order in the state.

The CP was joined in the patrol by DCP Fidelis Ogarabe, the Deputy Commissioner of Police in-charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department, and ACP Onyeamu Akaeme, the Assistant Commissioner of Police in the Department of Operations.

Another senior officer in his entourage was the Assistant of Commissioner of Police, ACP Princewill Ijeoma, the Commanding Officer of 3 Police Mobile Force (PMF) Squadron, Enugu. (NAN)
