The Director General, Security in Delta State, Hon David Tonwe, has affirmed that the rules of engagement remain the hallmark of Operation Delta Sweep in security matters.
Hon Tonwe, who was reacting to a video by an online blogger that men of Operation Delta Sweep harassed an innocent Deltan, said the author of the video doctored all that transpired.
He made reference to the incident of 20th April 2025 which involved Mr. Moses Hujionye and said there was a video evidence that showed what transpired totally different from the narrative being propagated by the blogger.
Hon Tonwe said men of Operation Delta Sweep had been trained and retrained on civil engagement and how to treat citizens on the road and at security flashpoints and wondered why some persons would choose to treat security men with disdain and reckless abandon.
The DG warned those using the social media to portray security men in bad light and encourage disrespectful conduct from the citizenry to desist or be ready to face legal actions.
He maintained that the mandate of the security outfit did not include investigation and prosecution, pointing out that all arrest carried out by men of the Operation were handed over to the appropriate agencies for investigation and prosecution.
Hon Tonwe maintained that he had consistently advised the public to report any unprofessional conduct by men of Operation Delta Sweep to his office for disciplinary action to avoid infringement on peoples rights and breach of public order.
He said a lot of progress had been recorded by Operation Delta Sweep in the fight against crime and criminality in the state, insisting that those circulating unverified videos of molestation on the social media cared less about highlighting the successes recorded.
The DG praised the commitment by all security agencies, including Operation Delta Sweep, for the dogged fight against kidnapping, armed robbery and other heinous crimes and called on residents of the state to voluntarily offer information that could help advance security strategies of the Oborevwori administration.
Hon Tonwe thanked the Governor for his support for security operatives in making the state safe for all, assuring that no effort would be spared in making the state unsafe for mischief makers.
To those aiding and abetting crime, Hon Tonwe said the long arm of the law would soon descend on them and called on security operatives to be at alert in flushing miscreants out of the state.
