Insecurity: Delta Police Command not involved in rescue of former Delta Technical Edu. Commissioner, Onyemaechi, Group declares

A group, Initiative For Social Rights Concerns And Advancement(ISRCA)
a.k.a. “No Justice, No Peace” on Tuesday, said the Delta State Police Command is not involved in the rescue of former Commissioner for Technical Education, Hon. Joan Onyemaechi from the hands of her abductors. ISRCA National Co-ordinator, Comrade(Amb) Derrick Oritsematosan Agberen made the assertion in a statement sent to Our Correspondent in Warri. 

Part of the statement reads:" From  gestures of the Delta State Police Command, it is obvious that the Police wasn’t involved in the rescuing process."

It would be recalled that the Delta State former Technical Education Commissioner was kidnapped in broad daylight with her security aide, shot dead in Asaba going by a video clip that surfaced on the media space.

The group in the statement said the Police Command under the watch of CP Olufemi Abaniwonda should subject the video that surfaced on the internet to forensic video analysis review. 

It stressed that the faces of the suspected kidnappers were not hidden. 

According to the statement: "From  the voice note in the video clip by the recorder, they had initially suspected the kidnappers to be Police operatives, going by the way they handled the rifle. 

"Also, it is so unsafe to have persons having such sophisticated weapons in the hands of civilians or whoever it may be. From the plots in the operation, it is obvious that they had carried out the attack by a classified information from an insider, hence the Delta Police Command should widen their scope of the investigation."

The group who  expressed joy on the safe return of Hon. Onyemaechi, expressed disappointment at the Governor Sheriff Oborevwori led Delta State Government for not taking issues of insecurity seriously knowing that  before she was released, her  family must have  parted with a whopping sums of money as ransom before she gained  her freedom.

Part of the statement reads: "These  are some of the plights and challenges faced by the ordinary people, going by the insecurities threat in the state.

"What then happens to the ordinary Nigerians who have been in captivity for several weeks running into months and years? The only thing that keeps them in captive is the failure(inability) of their families to pay the ransom. Who then comes to their aid? Is it the Government, the Police or their poor families who cannot afford good nutritional meals? 

"Sadly enough, a lot of persons have been killed, raped, even most men, forced to have  anal sex at  gunpoint  when they are unable  to meet the ransom demanded. They’re left to their fate while the State Government turns blind eyes this  lingering issue.

"Despite suggestive measures given by experts and CSOs on the need to establish her traditional outfits to comb the bushes and creeks to crank down on these menace that have become a norm, the Government is neither proactive to take preventive measures in the face of these challenges nor active when they occur".

The group however appreciated the Senior Special Assistant On Civil Society Organisation And Non-Governmental Organisation  to the Delta State Governor, Comrade Victor Ojei, a.k.a, Wong Box, for his  efforts in engaging Hunters Security Outfits to curb and crank down these criminal elements in these  bushes just as he appealed for him to speed up the process of doing  this to nip these hoodlums'  operations in the bud.
