Senator Ifeanyi Ubah has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for approving a new Zone 13 Police Headquarters which will be located at Ukpo, Dunukofia Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Inspector-General of Police Mohammed Adamu had approved the new Zonal Police Headquarters and forwarded same to President Buhari for his assent.
The new Zonal Police Headquarters will be in charge of Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi Police Commands.
With the new development, cases from Anambra will not need to be taken to Zone 9 Umuahia anymore – and according to Senator Ubah who represents Anambra South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, the historical mile stone is worthy of commendation.
He said in a statement: “This a historical milestone that is worthy of commendation because since the creation of Anambra State 25years ago, this is the first zonal command to be established in Anambra State, particularly Ukpo community which is 10miles within the Awka Capital city radius and also a central meeting point between Onitsha and Awka.
“It is also worthy of note to state that Dunukofia, Njikoka, Awka North and Awka South are the four(4) LGAs that make up Anambra Capital territory.
