Anambra Police Commissioner Nneghe Obong Itam has dismissed reports that nineteen police rifles are missing in the Command contending that it is a ploy to score cheap personal agenda .
He further stated that this is a fall out of a disagreement between two groups of people who are neck deep at getting at each other.
According to the release signed by the Police Public Relations Officer SP Tochukwu Ikenga the Commissioner contended that;
“Anambra State Police frowns at a publication titled “Fear in Anambra Community over missing 19 rifles’ and describes the report as a publication to promote personal agenda and seek attention”
“The Command notes the unprofessional attitude of some media persons who deliberately published stories to achieve a selfish interest, especially without recourse to the authority’s concern”
“It is disheartening that when you go through the report, is clear that a case of such magnitude was not reported to any security
agency or any concerned authority”
“Therefore the Command sees it as information targeted to cause tension in the state, to promote a rift between two groups, and personal agenda but will be investigated”
“However, the Command shall continue to work with other security agencies and Other recognized Stakeholders to enforce the law, maintain Public Order & Public Safety, and Support Services in the State” he said.
