Police focus protection on Abia schools, worship centres

The Abia State Police Command has made the protection of schools, worship centres, and key infrastructure in the state its main focus going forward.

This is in response to the directive by the Commissioner of Police in the state CP Danladi Isa, following heightened insecurity nationwide, especially kidnapping of school children and attack on a church.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Maureen Chinaka, in a statement said CP Isa warned his Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers, and Tactical Team Commanders “to ensure that security coverage is extended to schools, worship centres and other critical government infrastructures within their areas of jurisdiction”.

“The CP appealed to Abia State residents to be proactive by volunteering useful information to the police, either by reporting to the nearest police station or by contacting the Command’s emergency hotlines,” the PRO added.
