Nollywood Actor Donates To Police Project In Warri

Ace Nollywood actor, Mr. Livinus Nnochiri, has identify with the on-going community developmental project at the ‘B Division’ Police station in Warri South Local Government Area of Delta state (the heart
of the commercial city) in line with his ideological disposition of contributing little quota to societal growth.
Speaking with newsmen during the donation, Mr. Nnochiri noted that at this stage of nation building, it would be unreasonable for people to assume that community development especially when it comes to the security of lives and property should be left only to the government either at the federal, state or local level but rather should be seen as a collective effort of individuals resident in a particular area.
According to him, “although I do not reside in Delta State, I visit very often due to the choice of the place as the location for most of the home video shooting that I’ve featured. And it was during one of such visit prior to the 2015 general elections that I was privileged to have met the present Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of the ‘B Division’, CSP Anietie Eyoh in Asaba, the state capital and I must
confess that he made an impression on me as an officer and a gentleman.


“Since then, we have been friends. And so, when I learnt he has been moved to Warri as the DPO of this Division and promoted to his new rank of a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), I decided to
come and pay him a visit. Before now, I’ve visited Warri on many occasions and I know this area very well as notorious in crime. I also know the vulnerable condition under which the policemen in this
division were working then and I wonder how they would effectively combat crimes when they are equally open to attacks.

“On getting here today, I find out that the DPO had initiated a community developmental project to fence round the police station and that motivated me to contributing my little quota of blocks and the
small exit gate of the police station. This is the only way I can appreciate our friendship while at the same time contributing to the safety of lives and property of both the residents and the policemen
working in this environment”.

Mr. Nnochiri, urged the residents of the community to come out and support this laudable developmental initiative of the DPO at the police station, adding that it was one of the ways of enhancing effective policing of the area as the policemen would want to perform better in the on-going war against violent crimes and other social vices in the community when they are equally secured.

Another donor to the police project at the ‘B Division’, Mr. Happy Ogheneovo, said he was moved to announce a donation of two (2) trips of sharp sand because he was impressed with the mode of operation of the DPO and his team in the community, noting that recently when his
snatched car, a Honda Pillot car with registration number Delta AE 134 EFF , was recovered by the men of the station, all his personal belongings including, money, phones and vital documents  were found
intact and the car was released to him without paying any money after proper identification.

While stating that he had never experienced such professionalism and honesty in any police station across the country, Mr. Ogheeovo, enjoined other Divisional Police Officers (DPO) in the country to
emulate CSP Eyoh in the civilized way and manner the police should relate with members of the public in carrying out their duties, stressing that this act of policing has further reaffirmed that there
are very many good officers in the police force.
