In line with the directive of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, the Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP Abaniwonda Olufemi, has ordered massive deployment across the state to ensure adequate security and safety during the planned protest of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC.
This is to ensure that the protest is not hijacked.
The protest is slated to hold February 27 and 28.
Olufemi, during an interactive session with Area Commanders, Tactical Commanders, and DPOs, directed them to emplace measures to forestall any breakdown of law and order.
The CP also held a stakeholders meeting with leaders of labour unions on February 22 as part of measure to ensure that the protest is seamless. They discussed measures to achieve a peaceful protest.
Olufemi noted that it is the primary responsibility of the police to ensure the protection of life and property, which includes the security of protesters.
However, he warned that violent protest is criminal and will not be tolerated.
He directed the State Intelligence Department (SID) to deploy undercover operatives who will monitor and report back findings.
Manpower has also been drawn from Tactical Teams which include Safer Highway, Dragon Patrol, Safe Delta, Raiders Unit, Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Special Anti-Kidnapping and Cyber Crime Squad (SAKCCS), CD-Decoy, CP Monitoring Unit, State Anti-Cult Unit, Crack Squad, X-Squad and others.
Additional personnel were also deployed from Department of Operations, Area Commands, and Divisions.
The CP, therefore, warned all intending protesters that anyone found wanting will be immediately arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the law.
He assures all Deltans, residents, and non-residents to go about their lawful duties and businesses without fear as modalities have been emplaced to ensure that the protest is peaceful noting that nobody can be forced to be part of the protest.
Members of the public are advised to report any untoward occurrence in their area to the nearest police station or call the Command Control number on 08036684974.
