The Imo State Police Command says it has stepped up security across the state ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s visit.
In a statement on Sunday, the Command’s spokesperson, DSP Henry Okoye, said police officers, working with other security agencies, have been deployed to ensure the president’s engagements in the state are held without incident.
He noted that security personnel are stationed at all entry and exit points, as well as along the route from Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport to Owerri metropolis and designated venues across local government areas.
“Route lining and robust security coverage have been activated at all venues of the presidential engagements,” Okoye said. “Operation Show of Force and visibility patrols are ongoing across the three senatorial districts to reassure residents and deter criminal elements.”
