Police Debunks Terror Attack In Delta Girls’ School
The Delta State Police Command has dismissed reports of an alleged bandit attack at Girls’ Secondary School in Utagba-Ogbe, Kwale, Ndokwa West local government area of the state.
Rumours circulated on Monday around 9: 30 a.m. that a suspected terror group terrorizing parts of the North had invaded a school in Delta State.
However, in a spontaneous reaction, Police Public Relations Officer SP Bright Edafe stated that the rumour was completely false and misleading.
In a statement issued Monday evening, he stated that the panic stemmed from misinformation spread among students and was exacerbated by unverified online reports indicating community anxiety and alleged gunshots.
According to him, after receiving the report, the Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command, CP Olufemi Abaniwonda, immediately ordered a coordinated response and dispatched the DCO Kwale Division, SP Udofia Kufre, to lead a patrol team for immediate on-the-ground verification and security assessment.
He stated that the school’s Vice Principal and the security officer on duty were interviewed, and both confirmed that no attack occurred and that the panic was caused solely by student misinformation.
“As a precautionary measure, adjoining schools within the Kwale axis were visited and all were found to be calm, safe, and in a normal academic session.
“Parents who rushed to pick up their children are advised to remain calm, as the earlier rumour has been decisively addressed and normalcy has been fully restored.
“CP Olufemi Abaniwonda warns strongly against the spread of unverified rumours capable of causing fear or disrupting academic activities.
“The CP reiterated the Command’s unwavering resolve to respond swiftly to any credible threat while ensuring the safety of all educational institutions across the state.
“He further urges school authorities to strengthen internal communication, promptly report suspicious observations to the nearest police formation, and maintain close collaboration with local security outfits to enhance monitoring around school environments”, the statement added.
