Following the face-off between
the Nigerian Army and members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the
Police in Delta state has heightened security in Asaba, the state capital.
Operatives have been deployed to
areas like Okwe, a settlement for IPOB and other Biafra agitators.
The area is close to the River
Niger which is the boundary between Delta State and states in the South-East.
Public Relations Officer of the
command, DSP Andrew Aniamaka told Vanguard that the deployment of officers was
a proactive measure to forestall breakdown of law and order.
He said the presence of uniformed
policemen in strategic locations was not intended to cause tension but provide
adequate security for law abiding citizens.
“It is our duty to ensure that
people feel free and secured. However, if there is an incident in your
neighbour’s area, while you are trying to bring it under control, you also take
deliberate steps to ensure that such incident does not spill over to your area.
“So basically our duty is to
ensure there is order. Part of what we promised the people is civil policing,
democratic policing and policing with a human face. People should therefore be
reassured that there is no cause for alarm,” he said.
