Delta State Police Command has called on the leadership of Miyetti-Allah in the State to bring to an end “schisms” within their fold And unite in the fight against criminal elements in the State.

CP Zanna Mohammed Ibrahim made the call when the leadership of Miyeti-Allah and the two communities of Adonishaka and Umutu in Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State visited him at his office.

CP Ibrahim stated that the call was part of efforts to ensure that peace, orderliness, safety and security continues to reign in the state.

While commending the leadership of Adonishaka and Umutu for their maturity in handling of allegations of wrong-doing against their people by criminal elements amongst the herdsmen, the CP solicited for credible information from them to enable the police and other security agencies serve them better.
