Delta police PRO defends ‘turn on’ tweet after backlash

The Public Relations Officer of the Delta State Police Command, Bright Edafe, has defended his controversial social media comment directed at activist Rinu Oduala, saying it was misunderstood and “sexualised” by critics.

Why, if I may ask?”, a remark that quickly drew public outrage online. Many social media users accused him of making an inappropriate and unprofessional comment towards a female […]

In a statement jointly signed by Erere Okpako and Angela Akpofa for the Isoko Grassroot Mobilizers, the stakeholders expressed deep disappointment over what they described as “decades of neglect” despite their contribution to the nation’s oil wealth.
