PRESS RELEASE


DELTA STATE POLICE COMMAND RESPONDS TO MISLEADING ONLINE REPORTS; REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE ON POLICE WITHDRAWAL FROM VIP DUTIES


The Delta State Police Command has observed with concern a misleading online report published by Sahara reporters  alleging that the Command has flouted the Presidential directive on the withdrawal of police personnel from VIP duties. The Command categorically states that the report is false, unfounded, and misleading. The purported story suggesting non-compliance by the Delta State Police Command emanates from unverified social media posts and reports that do not reflect the factual position of the Command or the Nigeria Police Force (NPF). The allegation that officers remain attached to a resident identified as Sunny Nwakaego in Sapele despite a directive from the Presidency is incorrect and should be disregarded. The command does not have personnel attached to the said person as published by Sahara reporters. However it's pertinent to state that That on 12th December 2025, the DPO Sapele division received a distress call from one precious Itorho and Believe Odorkor against the said Sunday Okeke. Their disagreement over an undisclosed business transaction led to a fued and the DPO Sapele acted swiftly and invited all parties to the division where statements were recorded and they were granted bail while investigation continued.


The Command wishes to reaffirm that it is in full compliance with the directive of the Federal Government, as conveyed by the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, PhD, NPM, directing the nationwide withdrawal and redeployment of officers from personal VIP attachments to core policing duties. Implementation has been carried out in a structured and professional manner to ensure public safety is not compromised.


The Delta State Command reaffirms its commitment to the safety and security of all citizens and continues to implement government policies with professionalism, discipline, and transparency. Members of the press are urged to verify information from the command through the office of the Police public relations officer before publication.
