I have drawn your attention to one such occasion on phone when you pretended to be angry but your silence thereafter betrayed your anger.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Till this moments your DPOS still lock up suspect and practically throw away the keys.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Deltans are surprise that your DPO Ebrumede seem to be answerable to a different police commissioner; this is sad. While I commend your action of on Monday 1st July, 2019 in practically emptying the police cell in Warri and environs that moves achieved nothing as the police stations have assumed the usual status of a market even worst than a bank as under described by Fela Kuti.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">In recent times your DPOs have made their police stations more busy than a modern market with the Ebrumede police station taking the lead.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Mr. Commissioner Sir, you must become more proactive and address these cases of abuses taking a dangerous trend upon your assumption of office as CP Delta State.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Omes Ogedegbe, Esq.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">National Coordinator<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Conference for the Actualization of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Human Right<\/div>\n<p><code><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeadvert.com\/show.php?z=30&amp;pl=18975&amp;ad_type=81&amp;rl=1800\" width=\"336\" height=\"280\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Coordinator,\u00a0 Conference for the Actualization of\u00a0Human Right, Barr.
