By Okiemute Okpomor Mr. Zanna M. Ibrahim, Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command has warned the people of the state against embarking on jungle justice just as he said that resort to it is criminal.
The Commissioner of Police in apparent reaction to recent reported spates of attacks and killing of herdsmen by youths in some communities in a statement signed by DSP Andrew Aniamaka, Police
Public Relations Officer (P.P.R.O.), Delta Command said that such action is uncivilized adding that it also impedes the course of peace and security in the state, he called on the people always seek legal
redress whenever they feel wronged rather than resort to jungle justice.
Mr. Ibrahim also frowned at the attitude of the herdsmen who provocatively graze their cattle on people’s farm-lands, he warned them to refrain from such criminal acts just as he stressed that any
herdsman caught destroying people’s crops, molesting or preventing farmers from accessing their farm lands or bearing fire-arms or any other dangerous weapons will be arrested and made to face the full
wrath of the law.
The Commissioner of Police used the opportunity to reassure the people of the state of the readiness and willingness of the Police and other security agencies working in the state to continually discharge their duties responsibly, he called on Deltans to continue to support and cooperate with security agencies towards ensuring that peace and
security prevails in every part of the state.
