By Uche Alvin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Coordinator of the Niger Delta Advocates For Peace, Development And Economic Justice (NDAPDEJ), Comrade Freeborn Abraye, has raised grave concerns over what he describes as a rapidly deteriorating security situation in Delta State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Abraye, the level of insecurity and criminality in the state has reached an alarming point, where criminal elements now move guns and other dangerous weapons through Waybills and known transport companies, from one part of the state to another.
He warned that such developments, if not urgently addressed, could further destabilize the fragile peace in the State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He referenced reports on how the Olu Of Itsekiri Tsola Emiko purchased several weapons ( AK-47 Rifles, Pump-Action Guns, GPMGs, Military Grade Rifles, Grenades and thousands of ammunitions ), and used his associates Micah Polo, Collins Edema and their syndicates to smuggled them into Delta State, but was caught by the DSS Operatives in Asaba.
Abraye noted that these weapons were meant to be transported to Warri in order for them ( Itsekiris ) to intensify their unprovoked attacks on the Ijaws and Urhobos of Warri Federal Constituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Abraye, these claims remain deeply troubling and called for a full, transparent investigation by security agencies, and the culprits sent to prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further commended the efforts of the Department of State Services (DSS) for intercepting these criminals Micah Polo, Collins Edema and their syndicates before they could transport the weapons to Warri to attack the Ijaws and Urhobos of Warri Federal Constituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis situation paints a dangerous picture of a state under siege by criminal networks. No society can thrive under such conditions of fear and lawlessness,\u201d Abraye stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NDAPDEJ National Coordinator called on the Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, to take swift and decisive action to address the growing insecurity and criminal activities in the State.
He emphasized the need for enhanced intelligence gathering, stronger inter-agency collaboration, and visible enforcement actions to restore public confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abraye warned that failure to act decisively could have significant political and social consequences, particularly as citizens\u2019 safety remains a top priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe safety of lives and properties of Deltans must not be compromised. Deltans deserve to live without fear. So the Government must act now before the situation spirals beyond control,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also urged the Delta State Government and relevant security agencies to ensure that those found culpable, the likes of the Olu of Itsekiri Tsola Emiko, Micah Polo, Collins Edema and others, are been arrested and prosecuted regardless of status or affiliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere must be no room for impunity. Justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done. This is the only way to deter further criminality and restore order in Delta State,\u201d Abraye concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NDAPDEJ reaffirmed its commitment to advocating for peace, security, and justice across the Niger Delta region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
