• Warns residents against circulating old videos on social media
The Delta State Police Command is warning people on social media spreading rumors of protest in the state. It stated that it is the handiwork of persons who are aiming to create confusion by circulating old videos on social media.
Reacting to the matter in his brief statement released to National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP, the Delta Police PRO, DSP Bright Edafe informed: ‘The Command is aware of some video clips being circulated on various social media platforms about an ongoing protest in Delta State, particularly in Warri and Asaba. The video clip is not only false but completely misleading with the intention of creating panic in the state, which has been generally peaceful since the commencement of the 2023 general elections.’
‘Investigation has further revealed that the video clip is suspected to be an old video and, as such, should be completely disregarded.’
To this end, the Election Commissioner of Police, CP John Babangida advises the public to not only ignore the video clip but desist from circulating such old video clips. The State is currently peaceful and calm, and the Command will do all within its powers to see that it remains so.
To report cases to the Delta State Police, the PRO shared the control room numbers which are:
- 08036684974
- 08125958005
- 09053872287
