As part of its deliberate resolve to ensure a violence-free Democracy Day celebration, amidst intelligence reports of threats by some outlawed groups such as IPOB to disrupt the peace and stability of Delta State, the State Police Command has sternly warned members of the IPOB, other allied Pro-Biafra groups and their sympathizers, urging them “to retrace their steps as it will not condone any form of ill motivated protests or agitations that will jeopardize the peace and progress of the state.”
In a press release signed by DSP Andrew Aniamaka, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Delta State Command, added: “The Command recalls that not too long ago the ill-advised activities of these outlawed groups resulted in so many deaths of the innocent, destruction of property, disruption of business activities, amongst others, and warns that the police and other security agencies will not fold their arms and watch persons or group of persons foment trouble that will disrupt the peace and order in the state.
“The Command has therefore already arrested and arraigned some IPOB members in court. The Command, while acknowledging that it is not unaware of the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens to embark on processions, picketing or other forms of protests, notes that these rights must be exercised within the confines of the law and must not be used to cause anarchy and mayhem in the state as has been done, and still being intended, by IPOB and others.”
The police called on all well-meaning Deltans to “remain law-abiding and report any suspicious movement of persons to the police and other security agencies,” even as it pledged to continually serve Deltans and redidents in the state better.
