Abaniwonda Olufemi, Commissioner of Police, Delta state once said in an interview with Arise TV that the governor, police and journalists would need clearance to gain access to the troubled Okuama community because of an ongoing military operation in the area.

When asked about what type of clearance and from whom he would get it, Olufemi said that it would come from a military theatre commander or the operation commander.

“For us to get to Okoloba or Okuama, we must get clearance. Since that incident happened, it has become what I call a military operation zone. We have not been able to move into this community. He explained that he had to be sure that the officers he sent in would not be hurt by the military’s presence.

“Of course, it is our responsibility as the primary line of defence in internal security. But when you have another sister agency conducting an operation, the reasonable thing to do is to wait for them to finish.
