The Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP Wale Abass, has appealed to residents for understanding and to bear with the Police as security measures have been put in place for the collective good of the public.
According to the CP, the move was in furtherance of the determination of the command to combat all forms of insecurity in the state during the ember months, particularly the reported incidences of kidnapping.
Abass on the 18th of September, 2023, issued a stern warning to all the officers of the Command on the need to be proactive in the discharge of their assigned duties and responsibilities.
He charged all Area Commanders, Divisional Police Heads, and Tactical Commanders to double their efforts in the fight against criminals in the state.
He equally appealed to members of the public to understand and bear with Command as the measures being emplaced, which is in their ultimate interest, might bring slight discomfort to the residents, particularly road users.
Due to the activities of criminal elements who carry out their nefarious activities using tinted vehicles and sometimes covered plate numbers, it is on this note that the CP warns that all vehicles that ply the road in the state must be duly registered with their plate numbers visible as all unregistered vehicles and vehicles with covered plate numbers will be impounded.
He also stated that tinted vehicles will not be allowed in the state, hence residents using tinted vehicles are advised to peel it off.
In his plea, the CP seeks for the understanding, noting that all being done is for the collective good of the public. He further entreats the general public to report any frightful or suspicious occurrences to the nearest police station or call any of the under-listed dedicated lines.
