Heads of security agencies in Enugu State have commended Governor Peter Mbah’s administration for its significant investment in security infrastructure.
Following a tour of the newly established Command and Control Centre, on Wednesday, the security chiefs expressed their appreciation for the state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, including AI-enabled cameras.
Commissioner of Police Anayo Uzuegbu, speaking on behalf of the group, acknowledged the governor’s efforts to enhance security in the state.
The officials warned that the improved security measures will make it difficult for criminal elements to operate in Enugu State.
The Command and Control Centre is set to be officially commissioned, and the security chiefs praised the governor’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the state’s citizens.
Uzuegbu said, “After the strategy meeting of the forum of heads of security agencies in the state, we deemed it fit to come and see the Command and Control Centre; and honestly, what we saw here is wonder-evoking. The equipments here are highly sophisticated and highly phenomenal.
“From here, we will be able to identify any threats or criminal elements and go there to arrest the situation. By the time they will know what they are doing, we will appear to them like a ghost.
“This is one of the paramount and remarkable efforts by any state government. It demonstrates actually that he means well for his people. The Command and Control Center is highly sophisticated and highly wonderful.
“I want to say actually that we are very happy with that because it will make our operations less cumbersome. Now, we will reach everywhere we couldn’t reach before. All the stress we have been undergoing before this time in the course of our work will be very reduced.
“So, I want to say that the people of the state should sleep with their two eyes closed and do their businesses. Any attempt or actions inimical to the security of the state will be ruthlessly dealt with,” he stated.
The CP, however, enjoined parents and community leaders to intensify the crusade against crime and criminality.
“I urge the royal fathers, the clergy, and parents to preach peace to their subjects, congregants, wards, children, advising them to be of good behaviour and not to associate themselves with criminal elements who have nothing to offer to them,” the commissioner said.
