Breaking: Police Flood Delta Community After Fresh Security Threats

The Commissioner of Police for Delta State, Olufemi Abaniwonda, has deployed additional officers to strengthen security in Abraka, located in Ethiope East Local Government Area.

This was revealed in a statement issued by the command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, on Friday and made available to journalists in Warri.

In response to rising security concerns, particularly the uptick in violent crimes affecting the university town, CP Abaniwonda ordered the swift deployment of fully equipped tactical units to restore law and order and rebuild public confidence.

Recognizing the anxiety among residents, the Police Commissioner emphasized the command’s resolve to adopt proactive and strategic policing measures.

“To this effect, I have instructed the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations), DCP Aina Adesola, to oversee the tactical deployment to Abraka,” he stated.

The deployed operatives include personnel from Dragon Patrol, Safer Highway Patrol, Rapid Response Squad (RRS), and the State Anti-Cult Unit (SACU). Their duties will include round-the-clock patrols, establishment of checkpoints, and intelligence-led operations to apprehend suspected kidnappers and armed robbers.

CP Abaniwonda further assured residents of the police force’s unwavering commitment to ensuring public safety and urged citizens to avoid spreading unverified information that could incite fear or tension.
