In
an attemot to forestall recurring clashes between farmers and herdsmen in Enugu
state, Enugu State Police Command has commissioned three new stations at
Neke-Uno, Ogbeke and Amaokpo communities all in Enugu East Local Government
Area. Police said the move was to further strengthen the people’s confidence in
the police, even as it called for adequate information from the people to
enable them act proactively.
Commissioner
of Police, Emmanuel Ojukwu, while commissioning the stations, said: “We are
bent on taking police to the communities for effective partnership and service
delivery. This has become imperatives to nip the incessant herdsmen and farmers
clashes in the bud.
“The
communities should support police to ensure that there is improved safety and
security in their communities, especially along Ugwuogo-Opi Nsukka Road and to
attract development to communities.”
Recall
that recently, herdsmen invaded a community in Enugu where they were said t
kill a senior seminarian of the catholic church, pregnant women and leaving
others seriously injured.
