… Deploys Massively, Assures Residents Of Adequate Security
The Commissioner of Police of Delta State, CP Wale Abass, has ordered massive deployment of Police personnel across the length and breadth of the state to provide sufficient security before, during, and after the Yuletide celebration.
He directed that all Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers (DPOs), and Tactical Commanders, deploy their men to guarantee the safety of all state citizens and the success of all the celebration-related events planned.
The Delta State spokesman, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Edafe Bright, said: “During his address, the CP stated that the police would be undertaking operations throughout the state, focusing on visible policing at all celebration locations, particularly shopping centres and other resort areas.
“Similarly, the police will focus on special crime awareness and prevention operations, as well as targeting crimes common over the festive season.
“Conclusively, CP Wale Abass urges members of the public to remain alert and aware of their surroundings at all times to avoid being easy prey for crooks who may want to take advantage of this period, which is typically marked by social gatherings and festivities.
“He further advised the public to be law-abiding, and also nurture an active participation in community policing, so that they can be instrumental to the police in the fight against crime during the Festive Season and beyond.
“The Commissioner of Police, on behalf of officers and men of the Command, wishes all Deltans and residents of the State a hitch-free celebration. He assures all that the command was actively ready for the festivities, hence, anyone with criminal intent will be squeezed out of the state.”
