Delta Police DPO Murdered In Cold Blood During High-Stakes Kidnap Rescue

In his post, Joe described the loss as a “devastating blow” to the Delta State Police Command. He explained that the newly appointed DPO of Agbarho, who had only been in office for two days, and CSP Paul, the DPO of Orerokpe, were ambushed around 1:00 am while attempting to rescue kidnapping victims near Agbarho Rail Station. The team came under heavy gunfire, resulting in the death of the Agbarho DPO and several officers. The Orerokpe DPO was critically injured and is currently fighting for his life in the hospital.

Joe expressed his grief over the incident, recalling a recent conversation he had with the fallen DPO about police conduct and commending him for his integrity and commitment. He offered heartfelt condolences to the Delta State Police Command and the families of the brave officers who lost their lives in the line of duty, emphasizing that the criminals responsible should face justice.
