Anambra Police Raise Alarm Over Masked Security Personnel

The Anambra State Police Command, represented by spokesperson Tochukwu Ikenga, has raised significant concerns about the presence of masked security personnel tasked with protecting VIPs within the state. In a statement issued on Monday in Awka, Ikenga noted that while security duties often require tactical discretion, the lack of proper identification for these masked individuals poses a serious security threat.

This practice could undermine public safety and erode trust in inter-agency collaboration. Ikenga emphasized the importance of identifying security personnel as a critical component of coordinated security operations, especially in environments that demand synergy among various agencies.

He urged all security agencies operating in the state to ensure that their personnel are properly identified during routine protective duties, which should be clearly defined and sanctioned appropriately. The command remains dedicated to upholding professionalism and accountability to maintain public trust.
