The Enugu State Governor on Thursday inaugurated a new Police Area Command Headquarters, Orba in Udenu Local Government Area.
During the commissioning, Ugwuanyi expressed immense gratitude to the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mr. Mohammed Adamu Abubakar, for approving the permanent site of the Police Area Command Headquarters in Orba, Udenu Local Government Area to enhance the security of the area and its jurisdiction.
Ugwuanyi further disclosed that bearing in mind the exigency of security, his administration diligently funded the permanent site project to its present state.
The Police Area Command, Orba was created out of Nsukka Police Area Command on the 5th of December, 2017, by the then Inspector General of Police, IGP Ibrahim Idris, to cater for the policing needs of five LGAs in the state; Igbo-Eze North, Udenu, Isi-Uzo, Igbo-Etiti Local Government Areas, as well as Nsukka East Development Centre, which is part of Nsukka LGA.
The new command is sited on about three hectares of land donated by the great people of Ohom Orba; the land was given to the former Police Mounted Troops Command in the immediate post-civil war period.

“I also appreciate the support and encouragements of the present Enugu State Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmad Abdurrahman who did not rest his oars for the achievement of this project,” he further stated.
