Anambra State governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo has appointed Prince Kenneth Okwuchukwu Emeakayi as special adviser on community security.
Angel Network News (ANN) gathered that
Soludo swore in the new appointee, Emeakayi on Tuesday at the executive chambers of the Anambra State government house in Awka.
In his speech, Governor Soludo reiterated the importance of community security and stated that it was a top priority of his administration.
Soludo noted that crimes such as armed robbery, and cultism have become rampant in some parts of the state and emphasized the need to tackle these issues head-on.
The Governor expressed his confidence that with the appointment of Mr. Emekakayi to join the larger security team, the state would experience a higher level of security.
Responding, the newly appointed Special Adviser thanked Governor Soludo for the appointment and promised to work tirelessly to ensure that the state becomes a safe haven for residents and visitors alike.
Emeakayi noted that his focus would be on community policing, intelligence gathering, and collaboration with security agencies to nip crimes in the bud.
Emeakhayi, a former chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State had until recently held the position of president general of Okija community in Ihiala Local Government Area, and was known to have coordinated security in the area.
Despite Ihiala being a hotbed of insecurity and known to have camps by secessionist elements, Okija has been very peaceful, and this has been attributed to Emeakhayi’s hardwork.
With the recent nomination, he will be charged with the job of coordinating the effectiveness of local security in various communities.
