“Violent Protest Is not Protest, It Is Criminal,” Says Delta PPRO

By Daniel Dafe

The police spokesman in Delta State, SP Edafe Bright, has said that “violent protest is not protest,” adding that “it is criminal.”

He said this on Friday in a post on X.

He recalled how Delta Police Command “got a call that some so-called protesters blocked the Asaba-Benin expressway in Agbor, beating passengers and destroying vehicles for over three hours.”

He continued: “The CP deployed the Deputy Commissioner of Police operations, who led tactical teams to Agbor. The protesters threw stones at the Police.”

“They were forcefully dispersed with the use of tear gas and the road cleared for travellers to continue their journey.”
