The Commissioner of Police (CP) Imo State Police Command, Mr. Nasiru Mohammed on Thursday, March 12, 2021 received in audience, the newly elected leadership of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Imo State Chapter who paid him a courtesy visit at the State Command Headquarters Owerri.

Congratulating the Excos CP Nasiru Mohammed recounted the tension built up in the state capital prior to the guild elections and decried the situation where uncouth journalists use their employment in the mass media to unnecessarily create panic as well as instigate crisis when there is none.

The CP wished the new leadership well and assured the guild of police support whenever called upon.

The Commissioner of Police further expressed delight at the prospects of the guild’s policy and accepted to partner with the Actors Guild chapter towards promoting policing and the Nigeria Police in Imo state.

Earlier on, leader of the delegation Chairman Nneoma Ukpabi thanked the Commissioner of Police for receiving the Excos and for the roles he played to ensure there was adequate police on ground during the Guild elections.

She said the pronounced security presence helped keep the elections to be peaceful and violence free.

The AGN Chairman Lady Nneoma who narrated the post-election challenges currently faced by the guild to CP Mohammed emphasized the need to have police backing for AGN Task Force so as to effectively checkmate the activities of malfeasant elements in the industry.

The Chairman introduced the new regime’s social advertising and film-making policy to expose actors, project community policing, create awareness against COVID-19 and help redefine the Imo landscape.

Other members of the six-man delegation were Sir Lambert Nnorom, Royal Prince Cres Ugo, Chuma Mmeka, Ogali Emenike Ogali and Ifeanyi Umunnakwe.

Recall, Chuma Mmeka is Director of Communications & Public Relations Officer for AGN Imo State.
