Acting Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has conducted on-the-spot assessment and evaluation of security situation in some flash points in the creeks of Delta State.

In recent times, some riverine communities in the Niger-Delta region of Nigeria witnessed renewed militancy occasioned by pipeline and oil installations vandalization, thereby causing environmental and security challenges.

During a courtesy call on the Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, Idris said one of the strategies to tackle crimes in the country will be the formation of Eminent Persons Forum in collaboration with State Governments and various communities.

He held interactive session with elders, youths and members of Ugborodo and Oparaza communities, admonishing them to be law abiding and cooperate with law enforcement agencies by exposing criminal element in their communities.

Idris assured the communities that the Police under his leadership will engage every community in accordance with international core values of policing with integrity, respect diversity, operate within the principles of democratic policing and cultivate the culture of professionalism.

The Community Leaders assured him of their unalloyed support, cooperation and active partnership.
