He stated, “This is a devastating blow to the Delta State Command of the Nigeria Police Force. The new DPO of Agbarho, who had just resumed two days ago, along with the DPO of Orerokpe, CSP Paul, and their team, were ambushed around 1:00 a.m. while conducting a kidnap rescue operation near Agbarho Rail Station.

“There was an exchange of gunfire that resulted in the deaths of the new DPO and several officers. The Orerokpe DPO was rushed to a hospital, where he is currently fighting for his life.

“I am deeply pained by this news. Just yesterday, I spoke with the DPO about the conduct of his officers, and he promptly addressed the issue, warning his men against any misconduct under his command. This loss is heartbreaking, as I can personally vouch for the integrity of these officers.

“I extend my condolences to the Nigeria Police Force, the Delta State Command, and the families and friends of the officers who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. None of these criminals should be spared.
