The Delta State Police Command Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe
The operatives of Delta State Police Command on Tuesday thwarted an effort by some unidentified youths to destroy an area office of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Warri.
PUNCH Online gathered that the young men in their numbers, armed with weapons and containers filled with substance suspected to be fuel, chanted war songs and made moves to force their way into the INEC premises while its officials were out for delineation of electoral units and wards in compliance with a Supreme Court judgement.
However, worried by the development, a concerned passer-by reportedly contacted the police, who responded swiftly and chased away the hoodlums.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer for Delta State Command, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed the incident, saying, “The timely arrival of the operatives foiled the planned attack on the INEC office.” (The PUNCH)
