Police in Delta deploy under cover Operatives to monitor nationwide protest

By Jon Egie

Under cover police Operatives have been deployed across Delta State to monitor and ensure that the nationwide protest scheduled to hold on Thursday August 1 is orderly and not hijacked by hoodlums.

CP Abaniwonda Olufemi ordered the deployment in compliance with directives of the IG, Egbetokun Kayode

The CP has also asked organisers of the protest in Delta State to furnish the command with the following information before the commencement of the protest:

* The proposed protest/assembling point and routes.

* Expected duration of the protest.

* Names and contact details of protest leaders and organizers.

* Measures to prevent hijack by criminal elements.

CP Olufemi Abaniwonda urged both the organizers and those embarking on the protest to cooperate with the command to ensure that the proposed protest is carried out peacefully without being hijacked by unscrupulous persons

The CP assures residents in the state that the command will deploy all available resources to ensure that residents are protected during and after the protest and will continue to maintain law and order throughout the state.

Those participating in any form of protest are therefore advised to ensure that they maintain the sanctity of public gathering and lawful assembly and avoid acts capable of leading to a breakdown of law and order in the state.
