Philanthropist, High Chief Hamilton Ezeonu has called on the Illustrious sons and daughters of Nnobi Community in Idemili South Local Government Area, to pull their resources together towards ensuring that Nnobi Divisional Police Station becomes the best in Anambra.
Angel Network News (ANN) reports that
the Philanthropist made the call at the weekend when he paid a surprise visit with his wife Dr. Mrs Thelma Ezeonu to celebrate the new year with the Policemen at the Nnobi Police Station.
Ezeonu said that what prompted him to pay the surprise visit was the fact that security has improved significantly within Nnobi and environs since the day CSP Uchechukwu Asadu was posted to Nnobi Police Station as the Divisional Police Officer.
“The DPO we have now is very aggressive. He has reduced insecurity to almost 90 percent. So, when someone is working extra hard we have to figure out how to encourage them to do more. I believe that in this year 2026 Ndi Nnobi will come out together en masse to support him, so that Nnobi Police Station will be well recognized in Anambra State as one of the safest places,” Ezeonu assured.
“Some other DPOs may come around and there will be trouble, war everywhere but since CSP Asadu came the atmosphere has been calm showing that he is here to bring peace.
“This visit today with my wife is the beginning of many more visits. I am using this opportunity to call upon Ndi Nnobi residing anywhere all over world to support the police in our community.
“Nnobi is our hometown and the people ensuring that lives and property are safe is the Nigerian Police Force led by CSP Uchechukwu Asadu. Once you are in town, stop by and see the DPO. “Know your police officers, they are your friends, Know what they are passing through, no amount is too small to assist them towards making our society a better place. Ask him how you can be of help. Because without them we may not be enjoying the kind of peace we are witnessing in the last few months.
“If you are waiting for the Government to do everything for us, it is not possible. It is the people that must come together to see how they can make the job of security agents easier for them.
“For instance, the DPO has requested that they need Officers Quarters for himself and his men so that they do not have to be residing far away from here.
“Also, Nnobi Police Station is in a mess. It is not how a police station should be, like Bokoharam abandoned houses. I believe that with our new President General on ground, I think he should look into it. Our police station must be of standard. I think that PG’s security committee in collaboration with Stakeholders should adopt a plan to make Nnobi Police Station one of the best in the state.
“Ndi Nnobi by God’s grace, we have peace now. With our new PG, Igwe in Council, NWO, all the successful people, please let us come together and make that before the end of this year 2026, let’s make sure that this police station is back, functioning at 100 percent. This is an appeal to all Nnobi people,” he pleaded.
” When this police station was attacked we called on our Mayor, Hon Mrs Amaka Obi (Iyom Ifeabata) who came to secure this place with a perimeter fence. That is why we are asking for her to be reelected for a second term to continue her good works. I have also done something. I had to make sure that we erected this police tower to make sure that our officers can see what is happening around them. The major reason why it is yet to be commissioned is because the main building in the police station cannot be in such a terrible condition and I will be commissioning the tower.
“We need to renovate this building before all of them could be commissioned. I am sure that why this police station is still in such a terrible state is because Nnobi people don’t really know how bad the situation looks like. Our DPO is not happy and we Ndi Nnobi have to make him happy.
“I and my family are here to thank you for what you have been doing security wise and all that you intend to do. May God continue to bless you all in Jesus name,” Ezeonu said.
Distributing the gifts to officers, Ezeonu assured the officers that they would not be forgotten. “We are here to encourage everyone of you with bags of rice and other gift items” he said.
According to the DPO, CSP Uchechukwu Asadu flanked by the DCO, DSP Ogbonna Uchechi, Nnobi police station has been attacked three times although it happened before I was posted as the DPO here November 2024.
“We have been doing what are expected of us to ensure that Nnobi, Alor, Nnokwa and Awkaetiti remain crime free. The residents can sleep with their two eyes closed.
“The only problem we have here is logistics. There are no patrol vehicles here. As I am talking to you now we are using Vigilante’ van to patrol which is not the best although we are managing it that way. I thank people like High Chief Hamilton Ezeonu Ikemba Idemili and others who are always coming around to feel what we are passing through and to offer one assistance or the other.
“I am very excited with this call Ikemba Nnobi is doing today appealing to his people to come to our aid, this shows that Nnobi people are very supportive to make us happy. I appreciate the food and drinks Ikemba and his wife gave us to make us feel like others.
“Moreso, I appreciate the Solution Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo who is doing his best security wise. The creation of Agunechemba/Udogachi has helped the police. My Rugged CP Orutugu is not sleeping. He is doing everything possible to make sure Anambra residents sleep with their two eyes. His encouragement is second to none and I thank My Mayor, Iyom Ifeabata, I pray that God will give her a second tenure as the Idemili South Local Government Chairperson,” said Asadu.
In theirseparatespeeches, Makuachukwu Ezeh and High Chief Afam Nwudo Odenigbo said: “High Chief Hamilton Ezeonu is a humble Philanthropist who is always looking out for what he would do to make his society a better place.
“See how he brought food and drinks with his wife to celebrate together with the officers. Every one in this station today including inmates enjoyed the food and drinks. He later shared bags of rice and many gifts to the officers in the spirit of Christmas &New year.
“To wrap it up he conducted a facility tour to evaluate the deplorable state of the Police main building razed with fire by hoodlums during the EndSARS with a resolve to call on Ndi Nnobi To renovate the building as soon as possible.”
