Highlighting the broader challenges faced by the country, Adejobi noted, “Not only in Niger Delta, we have pockets of issues across all the zones in the country. And it is our responsibility to have a peaceful Nigeria.” He underscored the communal distress caused by the recent violence in Delta State, emphasizing the collaboration between law enforcement, the Delta state governor, traditional rulers, and local communities in the manhunt for the attackers.

The era of picking suspects is gone,” he stated, signaling a departure from past practices where broad sweeps could ensnare uninvolved individuals.
This incident has not only highlighted the security challenges within Delta State but also underscored the Nigerian Police Force’s commitment to restoring peace and order through precision and collaboration, leaving no stone unturned in their quest for justice.
