The routine operations also included major highways, places of worship, residential areas, recreation centres, motor parks, financial institutions, government/private infrastructure and all places of public resort.
The Commissioner of Police, Echeng Ewa Echeng has also directed them to ensure that their officers and men conduct themselves professionally in line consonance with the law before, during and after the festival.
According to him, the Command is also collaborating with other security agencies and stakeholders within the state to provide adequate security and safety in this regard.
Meanwhile, the police commissioner has tasked Christians nationwide and the good people of Anambra to emulate and adopt the selfless lifestyle of Christ as they join other Christians around the globe to celebrate Easter.
“The celebration is in remembrance of the victorious death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the price for the redemption of mankind,” he said.
While wishing Anambra people a happy, fruitful and hitch-free Easter Celebration, Echeng enjoined them to be security conscious and continue to provide the police with useful information that will assist in effectively tracking down criminal elements in our society.
“They are encouraged to request any security services abs call the command control room number on 07039194332 or PPRO 08039334002 for a prompt response.
