Are there really challenges of policing in Anambra State? What matters is time and with time we shall all get it right. All that we are waiting for is time and both the government and Police are doing their best. The only challenge that we have is the attack on our police stations and personnel. You post a policeman to one village and the people there would come and attack and kill policemen and tomorrow you want them to come back.

Some people came to plead with me to reopen their police station and send policemen there and I said that I cannot send my men there for them to be killed. So, I asked them how do you want me to post my men there when I cannot guarantee their safety? These policemen are people’s husbands, wives, fathers and brothers. This is not the way people can express their grievances because we have the Local Government Chairmen, Lawmakers, President General of the community and not to attack my men.

You see, a policeman doing his job as a patriotic Nigerian and they will be doing their job to protect the people and you do not know if he has eaten or if he or she is sick, and you go about attacking him. This is totally unacceptable to me and the Police Command. It is also my duty as the Police Commissioner to protect officers and men of my Command and we cannot tolerate this anymore.
