The commissioner assured the people of Onitsha and the entire state that the command remains committed to providing effective, professional, accountable and people-oriented policing.
He also encouraged members of the public to report security concerns and genuine complaints through the appropriate channels, including the Commissioner of Police’s dedicated WhatsApp line, 09169531886.
