April 05, (THEWILL) — The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has attributed the relative peace and recent gains in crime reduction across the state to the sustained support of Governor Umo Eno, highlighting key investments in security infrastructure and logistics.
In a statement issued on Sunday to mark the ongoing Police Week celebration, the Command said the administration’s interventions have significantly strengthened the operational capacity of the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Baba Mohammed Azare, noted that government-backed projects, including the construction of internal road networks at the Police Headquarters, the establishment of a Command and Control Centre, and the ongoing development of a Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) barracks have improved coordination, mobility, and rapid response.
According to the statement endorsed by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Timfon John, additional support such as the regular fuelling of patrol vehicles and provision of operational logistics has boosted officers’ morale and enhanced service delivery.
The Command said these measures have contributed to improved public confidence in security institutions and more effective crime-fighting strategies across Akwa Ibom.
It also reaffirmed its commitment to intensifying intelligence-led policing, community engagement, and visibility patrols throughout the state.
Residents were urged to support security agencies with timely and credible information to aid ongoing efforts to prevent and combat crime.
