ONITSHA — The Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council has pledged to strengthen collaboration with the Zone 13 Police Command as part of efforts to tackle crime and enhance security across Anambra and Enugu states.
The Chairman of the council, His Majesty Eze Dr. Chidubem Iweka (Ogalagidi), Eze Iweka III, made the commitment while receiving the Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) in charge of Zone 13, G.I. Eze, at his palace in Obosi.
Eze Iweka said traditional rulers, as custodians of culture and community leadership, have a critical role to play in supporting security agencies and would be among the greatest beneficiaries of a peaceful and crime-free society.
The monarch also expressed concern over what he described as the growing practice of filing petitions against newly installed traditional rulers following succession disputes in some communities.
