The police commissioner in Abia, Danladi Isa, has reactivated the command’s radio communications office for 24-hour operation daily.

The spokeswoman for the Abia command, Maureen Chinaka, in a statement in Umuahia on Friday, explained that the purpose was to attend to the security needs of Abia residents in 2025.

She stated that the office coverage had been extended to all parts of the state.

According to the statement, it ensures seamless communication, as necessary equipment has been installed and outdated systems replaced.

“It is for enhanced efficiency in managing directives and responding promptly to security emergencies across Abia,” she stated.

In his address to officers of the communications department, the commissioner emphasised the department’s critical role in maintaining security across the state.

He urged them to remain duty-conscious, proactive, and diligent in their responsibilities. Mr Isa also mandated that the control room remain operational round the clock, with the technician available daily to address any technical challenges promptly.

The police chief warned against laxity, indiscipline, and negligence among officers, stressing that such misconduct would not be tolerated. He further said the strategic officers who failed to respond promptly to radioed directives would face necessary disciplinary actions.
