The Commissioner of Police Delta State, CP Olufemi Abaniwonda, has assured Deltans of a hitch-free Christmas celebration. The Commissioner of Police has ordered a massive deployment of personnel across the state to provide adequate security before, during, and after the celebration to ensure the protection of all residents in the state and the success of all activities lined up to mark the celebration.
The CP directed that all area commanders, DPOS, and tactical commanders identify and deploy men to all venues of the celebrations and other resort centers to prevent mischief makers from showing their ugly faces and causing any form of mayhem to law-abiding citizens in the state. Police patrol teams have been drawn from Dragon Patrol, Safer Highways, Quick Response Squad, Rapid Response Squad, and Eagle-net special squad and deployed along the Asaba/Onitsa Head Bridge, Anwai Campus gate to Illah, and Onicha Ugbo to Idumuje-Ugboko. Similarly, men have also been deployed to the Asaba-Agbor expressway, the Abraka to Eku road, and the Asaba to Kwale/Ughelli road. Patrol teams from Abraka, Ughelli, and Sapele Divisions, respectively, have also been deployed along the Abraka, Eku, and Ughelli express roads.
Massive deployment has also been made to all flash points within the Asaba Metropolis, which includes Summit Junction, Inter-bau roundabout, Federal Medical Center roundabout, Ibusa Junction by Nnebisi Road, Ogbe-Ogonogo Market, Government House Gate, Coker Junction, Ezenie/Osadenis roundabout, Airport Junction, and the federal college junction by Nnebisi Road, Asaba.
Traffic control at the Head Bridge end has equally been taken care of, as both police personnel and traffic wardens have been deployed solely for the purpose of traffic control while the Divisional Police Officers ‘B’ and ‘C’ Divisions Asaba and the State Traffic Officer have been tasked with the responsibilities of working with other security agencies to ensure a free flow of traffic and effective supervision of police and traffic personnel deployed. The DPOS Ekpan and Ebrumede Divisions have been directed to ensure adequate security in Warri and its environs and to ensure that there is a free flow of traffic in the ever-busy DSC and Effurun roundabouts.
The CP also ordered the deployment of marine police along the waterways to checkmate the activities of sea pirates and illegal bunkerers, with particular attention on Escravos, Burutu, and Warri waterways with a view to ensuring the protection of traders and travelers along the waterways.
The CP has mandated the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operation to organize a continuous ‘OPERATION SHOW OF FORCE’ with effect from Sunday, 22nd December 2024, in all parts of the State with a view to ensuring a hitch-free Yuletide period.
The CP urges members of the public to be law-abiding and continue to support the police in the fight against crime and criminalities while assuring them of the Command’s commitment to providing security, maintenance of law, and protection of lives and properties, among other duties in the State.
The CP, on behalf of officers and men of Command, wishes Deltans and Nigerians in general a hitch-free celebration.
