Anambra: Police Frown At Indigenes’ Refusal To Give Information | Daily Report Nigeria

Anambra State Police command has condemned the reluctance or refusal of indigenes of the state to provide valuable information about the activities of criminals terrorising their communities.

The state Commissioner of Police, CP Echeng Echeng, stated this in a press conference on Monday.

Echeng, who was also reacting to rumours that the beheading of Anambra lawmaker, Hon Okey Okoye was done because of refusal to pay ransom, said the insinuation wasn’t true.

According to the commissioner: “I’m not aware that any ransom was demanded, or any ransom paid.”

He said: “We have been saying unknown gunmen is not the right name for these criminals. We are trying to mystify something that is not just there.

“It is time we go into demystifying those people. These people are not spirits, they live with us, they are our nephews, our cousins, our brothers, and they live in communities. We know who they are. The problem of security is that of total silence, nobody sees something, nobody hears something and nobody says something.

“Security is collective and everyone has a part to play. Crimes are localized, and they happen in our communities. We should be able to come up with information about what is happening in our communities, not glorifying them and tagging them as unknown gunmen, otherwise, we will end up not making headways.

“We know them, we have actually arrested some of them and they are human beings. I want us to also shift the narrative that these criminals are Fulani. We have arrested some and taken out some during gun duels.

“So, when the community who should help to contribute to security decide to stay quiet, that is not a good sign. Last week a person I didn’t know told me that a team of gunmen were operating at Umunze in a Hummer Jeep, I sent a team after them, and we were told they have moved to Umichu and we pursued them and were able to take out four of them.

“I don’t know the man who gave me the information, but we used the information to fight the criminals. That black Hummer Jeep you see there (pointing to it) was recovered from the criminals. You can see what information can do. That is how powerful information is, and we expect people to give information.”

Meanwhile, he made it known that officers of the command have decided to go all out on criminals, adding that their dens have been identified, and soon, news of their exploit would be made known.

“You will hear of it from tonight. We will not spare any of them. Forget the narrative they push that they live in the forest, they create that impression and then return to the communities where they live.

“What they have in the forest are just shrines, and we have visited and destroyed most of them. These criminals live among the people,” he added.
