The Inspector-General of Police, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar, on Thursday warned against unauthorised use of siren in Anambra State.
Abubakar gave the warning at the maiden Anambra State Security Stakeholders Summit in Awka, organised by the state government.
He said that he would redeploy the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 9, Bala Nasarawa, to the state to impound unauthorised vehicles using sirens.
Abubakar commended the efforts of the government in tackling security challenges in the state, adding that the effort had led to zero bank robbery in the state since 2009.
He described security as a serious business, and called on the people, especially traditional rulers, to support and cooperation with the new administration to succeed in crime prevention and control.
“We cannot develop the state without security,” he said.
Abubakar said Anambra State would enjoy the support of the Federal Government in tackling security challenges for the development of the state.
Speaking earlier, Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State announced that his administration had inaugurated a joint task force comprising of the police, navy, army and other security operatives to confront the challenges of crime in the state.
Obiano promised that the government would provide modern crime-fighting equipment and combat ready automobiles to the security apparatus to increase their response to emergency situations.
He called for the cooperation of the people to rid the state of criminals.
The security summit is expected to end on Friday.
