The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, on
Wednesday, inaugurated the 13th Zonal Command of the Nigeria Police Force in
Ukpo, Dunukofia Council Area of Anambra State.
The Zonal Command will be in charge of Anambra, Ebonyi and
Enugu States.
Speaking at the Inauguration, Adamu, who was represented by
DIG Celestine Okoye said the new zonal command was an addition to strengthening
the existing security in the southeast geopolitical zone.
He poured encomiums on a businessman, Prince Arthur Eze,
saying he not only supported the police in actualising the project but also
worked with the people of Ukpo community to provide and renovate the temporary
operational base.
“Though there were
contestations about the supposed location of the zonal command but Ukpo met
every requirement as it is also within the state capital territory.
“The AIG to head this zonal command, Mohammed Danmallam was
selected after a painstaking search and I assure you that he is the best man
for the job.”
The new AIG of the zone, Danmallam thanked the IGP for
appointing him to head the zone and promised to work for greater peace and
security in the states under the zonal command.
Commissioners of Police in Anambra, Ebonyi and Enugu were
present at the inauguration.
