MEANWHILE, the Delta State Police Command has announced a statewide deployment of personnel, signalling both heightened vigilance and growing concerns over potential threats to public safety.

The state’s Commissioner of Police (CP), Aina Adesola, ordered what the Command described as a “robust operational deployment,” involving conventional police officers, tactical units, and other security personnel, to strategic places to safeguard lives and property.

Adesola, therefore, in a strongly-worded warning, cautioned criminal elements, particularly cultists and “mischief-makers,” to steer clear of unlawful activities, stressing that the Command is fully prepared to respond decisively to any disruption of public peace.
