The Commissioner of Police Delta State, CP Olufemi Abaniwonda, has deployed the Divisional Police Officer in Ogwashi-Uku following complaints emanating from Ogwashi-uku circulating on WhatsApp and other social media platforms of incessant kidnapping and armed robbery in the area.
Worried by incessant cases, the CP, also directed the Deputy Commissioner of police operations, DCP Aina Adesola to deploy tactical teams to Ogwashi-Uku.
State Police Public Relations Officer SP Bright Edafe, who disclosed this, in a statement on Wednesday, said that the combat operatives were drawn from Dragon Patrol, Eagle-Net, and Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and posted to various nipping points in Ogwshi-Uku in compliance with the directive.
According to Edafe, the command’s Special Anti-Kidnapping and Cyber-Crime Squad (SAKCCS) has been mandated to relocate to Ogwashi-Uku and to embark on intelligence-driven policing to ensure that all suspected kidnappers and armed robbers carrying out these nefarious activities are arrested and brought to justice.
“In addition to these deployments, operatives of the State Intelligence Department (SID) have been directed to embark on undercover policing duties and intelligence gathering in the area”, he said.
He said that the area Commander Ogwashi-Uku has been directed to coordinate the operations.
