According to the new Anambra CP, Ken Oti ceases to be DPO of Division B Police station, even as investigation on the allegations against him is ongoing.

In a press briefing, CP Adeoye urged police officers in the state to be of good behaviour and conduct or face the law.

“Under my watch, the police in Anambra will work on its mandate to restore peace, and not to extort the people and any officer found wanting will be made to face the consequences therein,” CP Adeoye stressed.
