Operatives of Delta Police Command have arrested the suspects involved in the death of the three police officers that were killed in Okpanam community on Sunday.
In a statement debunking rumours of a 6-6 curfew enforced in the community, Police Public Relations Officer(PPRO), Deputy Superintendent of Police(DSP), Bright Edafe affirmed the arrest of the suspects.
On the imposition of the curfew, DSP Edafe said that the rumour was a ridiculous lie put up by some mischievous persons to confuse residents of the community.
“The Command wishes to emphatically state that there is no curfew decleared in Okpanam community and as a matter of fact, Okpanam community is calm and two suspects have been arrested in connection with the incident that led to the death of three Policemen in the early hours of Sunday 24/7/2022 and the Command is closing up on the other members of the gang,”
“The attention of Delta State Police Command has been drawn to the rumour making round that a “6-6 curfew has been decleared in Okpanam with effect from 26/7/22 to enable security agencies to carry out their job.
“This is not only laughable but completely ridiculous and a lie put up by some mischievous persons to confuse residents of the community,”
The statement ended with the assurance to the resident of the community to go about their lawful business(es) without fear by the Commissioner of Police, CP Ari Muhammed Ali.
