THE Delta State Commissioner, CP Olufemi Abaniwonda has outrightly condemned the new trend wherein some parents and unpatriotic citizens celebrate and endorse social status of criminal elements flaunting unexplainable wealth especially among the youths.
The CP made the assertion through the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe, a Superintendent of Police SP on Wednesday, in Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria while speaking as special guest of Orientation Panorama, the Peoples program on Voice of Delta 97.9 FM Radio.
He made it clear that insecurity in Nigeria will be drastically reduced if people flaunting unexplainable wealth are treated as common criminals, avoided by members of the society and are reported to Law enforcement agencies for arrest and subsequent prosecution.
He explained that Advance Fee Fraud (Yahoo), looting of public funds, kidnapping for ransom, among other forms of criminality are responsible for high cases of insecurity occasioned by increasing urge by young people to make money through dubious and life threatening ways and means.
On its part, CP Abaniwonda speaking the Command’s spokesman stated that the State Police Command will continue to ensure protection of life and property throughout the three senatorial districts of the State, noting that the Command recorded a major breakthrough recently.
Delta State was given assurance of effective policing while calling on persons raising alarm on social media platforms about rise in insecurity to kindly back their allegations with verifiable information.
Governor Sheriff Oborevwori was commended for rendering assistance to security agencies in the State, noting that efforts of government has contributed in no small measures in crime fighting.
His words, “Crime fighting is a joint responsibility of law enforcement agencies and the citizens through credible information gathering and sharing, genuine crime alerts, arrest and prosecution of criminal elements among us.
“One of the reasons for high rate of criminality and insecurity is the new trend wherein some parents and unpatriotic citizens endorse and celebrate ill-gotten wealth or unexplainable riches flaunted by criminal elements.
“And one of the result oriented strategies to drastically reduced crime and insecurity is for all of us to stop endorsing and celebrating people displaying unexplainable wealth. When you celebrate them, other young people join them, and thereby poses threat security risk to our state and country.
“Parents should inculcate sound moral values and discipline in their children, discourage them from criminal activities.
“Parents”, he went on, “should desist from telling their children to go and make money, when you know that they are not well educated or with no corresponding vocational skills to make money. They must first be educated or acquire genuine professional skills, not yahoo or advance fee fraud skills.
“Recently, we recovered some arms and ammunition, including AK 47, AK 49 and sophisticated weapons from criminal gangs across the state. After investigation, they shall be charged to Courts of competent jurisdictions. My men are working round the clock to protect life and property in Delta State.
“People raising insecurity alerts on social media platforms should provide accurate information and data where applicable to enable law enforcement agents do their job better”.
Orientation Panorama is an initiative of Delta State Orientation and Communications Bureau, in conjunction with Delta Broadcasting Service DBS Asaba, to sensitize Deltans about the policies, programmes and achievements of the State state governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, every Wednesday from 3-4pm live on Voice of Delta 97.9 FM radio.
