The Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP, Zanna Mohammed Ibrahim and other officers and men of the Nigerian Police Force have warned the site engineer clearing the disputed land between warring Ogbe-Ijoh, Aladja and Isaba communities to ensure that relics such as shrines and grave yards are not tampered with in the course of the clearing of bushes.
The CP handed down the warning in a statement signed by the Delta State Acting Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Andrew Aniamaka and made available to DAILY POST after he visited the communities again with a view to bringing the lingering crisis in the area to an end.
The Statemented noted that that the CP’s visit was to have first hand assessment of the security situation, meet with his officers and men stationed on ground in the area as a way of boosting their morale and also know the extent of land clearing done by the government.
It would be recalled that the Delta State Government had recently set in motion the clearing of the land after the State Security Council recommended that the disputed land be compulsorily acquired in line with the provision of the Land use Act 1978 and to immediately clear the land of its bushes which have made it possible for hoodlums to lay ambush, to commit atrocities.
CP Ibrahim also met with the engineer and commended him for the level of work done so far, pointing out that all portions should be cleared so that the hoodlums from warring communities do not have a place to hide and wreck further havoc.
CP Ibrahim also addressed the officers and men on ground who also expressed appreciation for his visit.
