EDO POLICE LAUNCH JOINT SECURITY INTERVENTION IN IYAHNOMO FOLLOWING COMMUNITY CLASH 

The Edo State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that, following the viral video depicting incidents of violence and the complaints received from residents of lyanomo Community, the Command has commenced a coordinated joint security operation on 2Oth July, 2026, aimed at restoring peace and strengthening public confidence in the area. The operation involves personnel of the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), who were deployed to strategic locations within the community. The security presence is nota temporary measure; personnel will remain in the community for as long as necessary to maintain law and order while investigations continue to identify, arrest, and prosecute those responsible for the violence. This intervention is designed to protect law-abiding residents, prevent further criminal activities, and ensure that members of the community can carry out their lawful activities without fear. The Command has successfully adopted a similar strategy in the Uselu-Nahor area, where sustained joint security deployment significantly reduced criminal activities and restored public confidence. Based on that experience, the Commissioner of Police is optimistic that the operation in lyanomo Community will achieve similar results. The Command urges residents to remain calm, cooperate with security personnel, and provide credible and timely information that will support ongoing operations and investigations. The Command also warns that anyone who seeks to exploit the current situation by engaging in violence, reprisals, or any act capable of threatening public peace will be arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the law. The Command remains resolute in its commitment to protecting lives and property and will continue to work with all relevant stakeholders to ensure lasting peace and security in lyanomo Community.
