He urged the public to be law abiding and make personal safety their priority.
Commenting on the upcoming Homowo festival, he urged the people in the region to desist from violence, and urged aggrieved people to go to court for amicable settlement of disputes.
DCOP Anim called on the public and the media to partner the police in crime combating.
“Policing is a shared responsibility and all must support the police to achieve the mandate of protecting lives and properties in the country,”he added.
