Anambra CP Joins IGP’s Retreat, Steps Up Peace Campaign Ahead of 2027 Elections
The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Nnanna Oji Ama, is participating in the ongoing Inspector-General of Police’s Conference and Retreat on the theme, “Developing a Nigeria Police Roadmap for Effective Management of Security During Elections.”
In a statement issued by the Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the event is being held in Imo State from September 21 to 23, 2026.
The conference and retreat is focused on strengthening the preparedness, coordination and professionalism of the Nigeria Police Force in providing a safe and secure environment for electoral activities ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
In line with the objectives of the conference, and as part of the Command’s commitment to promoting peaceful elections, the CP has activated a sustained peace advocacy and sensitisation campaign across Anambra State.
As part of this initiative, the Command participated in a Peace Advocacy Walk involving police personnel and other stakeholders from the Eke-Awka Roundabout, Awka, to mark the 2026 International Day of Peace and reinforce the message of peaceful coexistence, responsible citizenship, tolerance and non-violence.
The CP further noted that the Command will, in the coming days, intensify engagements with political stakeholders, traditional and community leaders, youths, civil society organisations and other relevant groups on the need to reject violence, intimidation, hate speech, destruction of property and other acts capable of threatening public peace before, during and after the elections.
The Commissioner of Police reassures the people of Anambra State that the Command will remain professional and impartial, and firmly committed to protecting the rights and safety of all citizens while enforcing the law against anyone who engages in criminal conduct, irrespective of status, political affiliation or other considerations.
The Command therefore calls on all stakeholders to support peaceful political participation, respect the rule of law and contribute to an atmosphere conducive to free, peaceful and credible electoral activities.
