Asaba Massacre Anniversary: Delta Police Warns Against Sit-at-home Threat

Delta State Police Command has warned against threat of sit-at-home in Asaba, capital of Delta State.

This may not be unconnected with a YouTube post by some faceless individuals with the caption “Day 3 of the Remembrance of Asaba massacre in 1970”, where the faceless person declared Friday 7/10/2022 as sit-at-home day.

According to Bright Edafe, police public relations officer, Delta Command, “for the purpose of clarity, the Delta State commissioner of police, Ari Muhammed Ali, has declared that there is no “sit at home order” in Delta State.

Meanwhile, the CP has directed the deputy commissioner of police Operations, area commanders, DPOS, and tactical commanders to maintain police visibility across the length and breadth of the state and emplace measures that will make the state uncomfortable and uninhabitable for any group of hoodlums.

“He assures residents of their safety and urges them to go about their lawful business as the command is willing and able to deal decisively with anyone or group of persons who try to cause any form of trouble in the state.

“He admonishes members of the public particularly residents of Asaba to report any strange and suspicious movements or persons in their neighbourhood to the command or other law enforcement agencies.
