The security operatives converged at the police headquarters in Abakaliki, moving out to different parts of the city.
Addressing journalists, the command’s spokesperson, SP Onome Onovwakpoyeya, said the exercise was meant to assure residents of adequate security in the state.
Onovwakpoyeya said the security agents are ready to tackle insecurity in the state.
“It is a routine event, and it is targeted at restoring the confidence of the people in the security agencies. We have gone round the town to assure the people that we are capable of protecting them. We visited some flash points and traffic points,’’ she said.
Ekpa had declared seven days of sit-at-home across the Southeast.
The sit-at-home order has led to unknown gunmen attacking residents of Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, and other states across the Southeast.
