Police Division Gets New DPO
As part of measures to improve effective service, the Rivers State Police authorities have posted new Divisional Police Officer to Nkpolu Oroworukwu.
She is Chief Superintendent of Police Edith Agborneme Udese
CSP Edith was former Divisional Police Officer, Trans- Amadi Division.
The new DPO who is barely two weeks in office has restated her commitment and zeal to sustain peace and orderliness in the area.
She enjoined citizens and residents of the area to assist her with useful information to fight crime in the neighborhood.
CSP noted that essence of peace in any given environment could not be over emphasised hence collaborative efforts to nip insecurity in the bud
She said as proactive measures on arrival she visited all stakeholders in the communities and held meetings with them.
“Security is key hence our people must collaborate with the police to ensure safety of the environment
“I must express joy over the receptive nature of the people.
“I can assure them with help of God Almighty that peace and social harmony will be sustained.”
“Gender can never be a barrier to our constitutional calling .I have done at Trans Amadi, hoping to repeat same here at Nkpolu Division,” she stated.
“God has been faithful in all we do, and will help us to silence all forms of criminality.
So let all those who involve in criminal acts surrender or face the full wrath of the law.
“As far as the police is concerned and under my watch, there will be no hiding place for criminals,” the new DPO further stated.
“I can assure anyone doing legitimate business that there is no cause for alarm. We are at their services at any point in time. I reiterate gender can never be the issue. If the likes of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former finance minister, late Dora and host of others can do it well and perfect no matter the position that tells you women have reason to whatever position,” she noted.
CSP Edith cautioned residents to be security conscious and report suspicious movements around them as various lines had been made available for easy contact of the Division.
She explained that every two weeks meetings will be held with various groups and relevant stakeholders aimed at strengthening relationship and sustaining peace.
She said residents should endeavour to put in place security devices in their houses to avoid negativity.
She thanked the Commissioner of Police, CP Eboka Friday for giving women opportunity to showcase their competency and service delivery.
