The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Disu, has reassured residents of Abia State of the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to strengthening security and ensuring the protection of lives and property across the state.
Disu gave the assurance during a courtesy visit to Governor Alex Otti at the Government House, Umuahia, where he commended the state government for its sustained support and cooperation with the police.
The IGP, who was in Abia State to attend the traditional marriage ceremony of his orderly, Victor Nnah Sunday, in Amangwu, Abaki-Ndoki, Ukwa East Local Government Area, acknowledged the contributions of the state government to security efforts.
He said the support had been recognised by the Commissioner of Police and the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, assuring that the Force would continue to intensify its efforts towards maintaining peace and ensuring that residents go about their daily activities without fear.
Disu further assured the governor that the police would sustain their commitment to tackling security challenges and providing a safe environment for individuals and businesses in the state.
In his response, Governor Otti appreciated the IGP for the visit and commended the professionalism of police personnel, particularly their prompt interventions in addressing security concerns in Abia.
The governor also praised Disu for demonstrating national unity through his choice of aides from different ethnic and geographical backgrounds, describing such inclusiveness as an example worthy of emulation.
Otti urged Nigerians to rise above tribal and ethnic considerations, noting that the country’s diversity should be harnessed as a source of strength and unity rather than used to promote division.
He also congratulated the IGP’s orderly, Victor Nnah Sunday, on his traditional marriage and wished him and his wife a happy and successful married life.
