Delta CP Samuel Erale probes shooting, community violence
Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP Samuel Erale, has initiated a thorough investigation into the fatal shooting of a young man known as Don Cross and the subsequent violence against community leaders in Okpara Inland, Ethiope East Local Government Area. This incident occurred on October 12, when individuals from an unidentified security outfit allegedly conducted a drug raid, resulting in the victim's death while receiving treatment.
Following this, miscreants attacked community leaders, setting two vehicles ablaze and damaging the residences of the community’s President-General and Vice President-General. The town hall was also vandalized.
During his visit to the community, Erale assessed the damage and engaged with community leaders to discuss measures for restoring peace. He condemned the violence and directed investigators to identify and arrest those responsible.
A combined team of police and military personnel has been deployed to restore order. Erale urged residents to remain calm and cooperate with security agencies.
