The Commissioner also commended HRH Efebo for his magnanimity and patriotic gesture in supporting the Command. He noted that the renovated hall would provide a more conducive environment for strategic meetings, training sessions, and conferences aimed at improving police operations in the state.
In his remarks, HRH Otonye Efebo, who paid a courtesy visit to CP Orutugu—his subject from Brass Kingdom—praised the Commissioner’s leadership style, especially his commitment to community policing and security reforms in Anambra State. The Royal Father reaffirmed his continuous support for initiatives that strengthen peace and stability across communities.
