The Police Command in Delta State says it will not allow any miscreant to distort the already existing peace in the state.
The Command in a statement signed by its Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Edafe Bright stated that the command was aware of the planned protest by some agitated members of the public on 12th of June 2021, and is also aware that this protest is being staged by individuals, hiding under the guise of peaceful protest thereby causing havoc in the state.
The statement states: “Members of the public, particularly residents of Delta state are to be aware that on no account should any group be seen, gathering or carrying placard in the name of protest, as such will not be allowed in the state. Officers and men of the command have been placed on red alert and have been ordered to arrest and deal decisively with any criminally minded elements who wish to go against this order.
“The Command is more than ever willing to go after any miscreant who
might be found wanting. The Commissioner of police is urging members
of the public to partner with the police to see that those who try to
bring disunity in the state and our dear nation be arrested and
brought to book. Also, it is pertinent to state that undercover police
detectives have been deployed across the state for the purpose of
arresting any person or persons staging any form of protest. The
command is committed to maintain and sustain the peace the state is
currently enjoying,” the PPRO said.
