The Achalla community in Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra has pledged to collaborate with the police and other security agencies to tackle insecurity.

The traditional ruler of the community, Ositadimma Nwokedi (Eze Oranyelu I of Achalla Kingdom), made the pledge on Sunday during a courtesy visit to his palace by the state commissioner of police, Ikioye Orutugu.

“We will collaborate with the police and other security agencies to enhance safety and order in Achalla and Anambra state,” he said.

Mr Nwokedi appreciated the commissioner for the visit.

Earlier, Mr Orutugu said the visit was to promote alternative dispute resolution to bring the stakeholders in the community together.

According to Mr Orutugu, this visit aims to promote security dialogue in addressing matters of concern among community stakeholders and foster collaboration to combat the common enemy threatening the state.

He sought greater cooperation from the community’s indigenous residents to continue denying the criminal elements the space to wreak havoc.
