Following the spate of killings and kidnapping in Oko Community in Orumba North local government area of Anambra state the Anambra Police Commissioner Ikioye Orutugu and the Authorities of the Federal Polytechnic Oko had launched fresh security architecture in and around the institution.
This fresh launch is designed to be battle ready to avert possible attacks in the area by gunmen and to take proactive measures towards nipping crime and criminality on the board.
Though the duo refused to explain clear the nature of security architecture that had been launched it was gathered that the operational templates could be ranked as one of the best that they can apply in the present circumstances.
Confirming this in a statement the Police Public Relations Officer SP Tochikwu Ikenga explained that ;
“The Commissioner of Police CP Ikioye Orutugu fwc MNIPS PhD yesterday, 23rd June 2025 received the Rector of the Federal Polytechnic Oko, Dr. Mrs Chioma Irene Amuzie and the Head of Federal Establishments in Anambra State, Mr. Chijoke Okechukwu in his Office at the Anambra State Police Command, Awka.”
