CP Ari Muhammed Ali
* Nullifies sit at home order by IPOB
By Jon Egie
Delta State Police Command has assured residents of Asaba and other impact areas across the State of adequate security and safety of life and property and hence, urged all citizens of the Delta State to go about their normal lawful businesses without fear.
The assurance came on the heel of a recent threat issued by the Independent People of Biafra, IPOB.
A release issued by the Command’s PPRO, DSP Bright Edafe yesterday, said the attention of Delta State Police Command has been drawn to 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 today, Friday, October 7, 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 order” 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.”
“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.”
