Police commissioner debunks alleged protest in Delta

•Advises Deltans to be calm

•Warns against the circulation of old videos

The Election Commissioner of Police Delta State CPJohn Babangida has debunked alleged protests by Deltans following the outcome of Saturday’s presidential election in the country.

This was made available to Congress correspondent in a statement by the State Police spokesman, DSP Bright Edafe on Tuesday.

According to the CP, the command’s attention had been drawn to false protest video clips being circulated by suspected members of the public in the state, urging the public to disregard it and that there was no such protest going on in the state.

The statement reads, “the Command is aware of some video clips being circulated on various social media platforms about an ongoing protest in Delta State, particularly in Warri and Asaba.

“The video clip is not only false but completely misleading with the intention of creating panic in the state, which has been generally peaceful since the commencement of the 2023 general elections. The investigation has further revealed that the video clip is suspected to be an old video and, as such, should be completely disregarded.

“To this end, the Election Commissioner of Police CP John Babangida, therefore advises the public to not only ignore the video clip but desist from circulating such old video clips. The State is currently peaceful and calm, and the Command will do all within its powers to see that it remains so,” he added.
