In preparation for the commencement of final respects to the former President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, the late Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, whose burial is scheduled for November 2, the various security heads in the state have assured the public that there will be adequate security during and after the burial ceremony to enable a hitch-free and successful outcome.

The security chiefs gave the assurance while paying a condolence visit to the family of the late leader of the Igbo socio-cultural organization at his country home in Umuohii Atta, Ikeduru LGA of the state over the weekend.

In a statement issued by the Public Relations Officer of the Imo State Police Command, ASP Henry Okoye informed that the State Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma, in the company of Brigadier General U.A. Lawal, Commander of the 34 Artillery Brigade, Obinze, visited the residence of the late Chief Iwuanyanwu to condole with his family and assured them of the readiness of the security agencies to provide effective policing throughout the event.

ASP Okoye stated that the security chiefs expressed their condolences and support to the bereaved family, emphasizing the commitment of security agencies to stand with them and the community throughout the mourning period.

The police spokesperson further informed that heavy security will be deployed at strategic places to maintain order and protect attendees, creating an atmosphere conducive to a dignified farewell, pointing out that the late Iwuanyanwu deserved every effort made by the security agencies in his honor.

During the visit, Prince Ugo Mike Enwerem, the elder brother of Chief Iwuanyanwu’s wife, on behalf of the entire family, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the security chiefs for their support.

Accompanying the security chiefs was Justice Nze, the Local Government Chairman of the Council, who also assured the readiness of the Council to collaborate with the security agencies’ efforts to maintain social decorum.

“The security agencies are committed to working alongside stakeholders and organizers to ensure a peaceful environment for all who gather to honor Chief Iwuanyanwu’s legacy,” the release stated.
