The Commissioners of Police for Benue and Enugu States, CP Ifeanyi Emenari, and CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, respectively, on October 29, 2025, held a strategic operational meeting to strengthen collaboration and address emerging security challenges affecting both States.
During the strategic meeting, which took place in Benue State, the Commissioners identified the infiltration of criminal elements and their connivance with unscrupulous elements within border communities as major enablers of interstate crimes.
Consequently, they resolved to enhance interstate crime-fighting synergy through improved intelligence sharing, coordinated operations, and joint deployment of resources to combat violent crimes across border communities.
The focus areas of this renewed collaboration include Ado, Ogbadibo, and Okpokwu LGAs in Benue State, as well as Igbo-Eze North, Isi-Uzo, and Udenu LGAs in Enugu State.
A statement jointly signed SP Daniel Ndukwe, and DSP Edet Udeme, Police Public Relations Officer Enugu State Command and Benue State Command respectively said the meeting, attended by senior operational officers from both Commands, would be held routinely to sustain the joint efforts.
Recall that the two State Commands recently collaborated to arrest criminal suspects operating across both States, rescuing kidnapped victims and recovering stolen vehicles, laptops, mobile phones, and other robbed items.
