Delta Education Director Arrested Amid Protests for Justice
Mrs Clementina Ojumah, the Director of Exams and Standards in the Ministry of Secondary Education, was arrested by the Delta State Police Command regarding the death of Mr Unity Ekwevugbe Adeda, the Deputy Director in the same ministry. This arrest brings the total number of individuals in police custody to six as investigations into the circumstances of Adeda's death continue.
On the same day, residents of Adeda's home community, Otovwodo in Ughelli North Local Government Area, protested, demanding government action and issuing a seven-day ultimatum for justice. Ojumah voluntarily reported to the police headquarters, as confirmed by SP Bright Edafe.
The investigation began after allegations surfaced that Adeda was assaulted at the commissioner’s office in Asaba. The police have arrested multiple suspects and are seeking two officials for questioning.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Samuel Erale, emphasized the need for a thorough investigation to determine accountability for Adeda's death, which has caused unrest among ministry workers and community members.
