Almost every crime you witness is carried out using small arms and light weapons.
He declared, “We cannot have peace if we do not eradicate them, or at least minimize them.”
According to Otti, his government is collaborating with security forces to prevent criminals from relocating to Abia from neighboring states.
In addition to thanking President Bola Tinubu for appointing his friend, DIG. Johnson Babatunde Kukum, as the center’s director general, he also thanked the Federal government for establishing the facility and wished him luck.
Anusiem previously stated that he had recently been assigned to Enugu to lead the South East Zonal office and was in the State for a familiarization visit.
Anusiem clarified that the agency’s goal was to advance an illicit arms-free society while praising Governor Alex Otti for successfully preserving peace in Abia.
