Delta Police Vow To Resist IPOB Sit-At-Home Order

The Delta State Police Command has vowed not to tolerate any form of sit-at-home in Asaba, the state capital, or anywhere else in the state.

The assurance was given in a brief statement issued by DSP Bright Edafe, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), on Thursday night.

The statement is in response to a popular YouTube video directing a stay-at-home day on Friday, October 7, 2022.

The statement reads in part: “The Delta State Police Command is aware of a YouTube post by some faceless individuals with the caption “Day 3 of the Remembrance of Asaba Massacre in 1970”, where the faceless person declared Friday 7/10/2022 as Sit-at-home in Biafra Land.

“For the purpose of clarity, the Delta State Commissioner of Police CP Ari Muhammed Ali, FCIA, psc+, has declared that there is no sit-at- home in Asaba or anywhere in Delta State. 

“He assures residents of their safety and urges them to go about their lawful business as the Command is willing and able to deal decisively with anyone or group of persons who try to cause any form of trouble in the State.

“He admonishes members of the public particularly residents of Asaba to report any strange and suspicious movements or persons in their neighborhood to the Command or other law enforcement agencies.

“Meanwhile, the CP has directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police Operations, Area Commanders, DPOS, and Tactical Commanders to maintain Police visibility across the length and breadth of the State and emplace measures that will make the State uncomfortable and uninhabitable for any group of hoodlums.
