By
IJAW PUBLISHERS’ FORUM (IPF)
PRESS STATEMENT June 18, 2026 IPF TO SOUTH-SOUTH GOVERNORS: REVIVE BRACED COMMISSION NOW BEFORE INSECURITY OVERRUNS THE REGION The Ijaw Publishers’ Forum, IPF, calls on the governors of Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo and Delta States to urgently reactivate and fully fund the BRACED Commission as a coordinated regional response to the rising wave of insecurity across Nigeria.

OPUAMA POLICE STATION: A NEW ERA OF SECURITY AND DEVELOPMENT IN EGBEMA KINGDOM

By
Security Is Now Closer to You, For many years, Opuama Town in Egbema Kingdom, Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State, faced significant security challenges due to its riverine location.

With the establishment and full operation of the Opuama Police Station, security personnel are now stationed within the community. This development ensures faster response to emergencies, theft, boat attacks, and other security concerns affecting residents. A Project Delivered Through Community Leadership The Opuama Police Station did not emerge by chance. The facility was built and furnished through the commitment, vision, and tireless efforts of a distinguished son of the community, Hon.

Oborevwori, Okowa Not Opposed to Anioma State Creation – Ifeajika

By
By EgbemaVoice  The Executive Assistant to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on Public Enlightenment (Projects and Policies), Mr Olisa Ifeajika, has dismissed claims that the governor and his predecessor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, were opposed to the creation of Anioma State. He said that he was not aware that the people of Anioma had, in the current dispensation, collectively signed in on the agitation for a state nor had they approached the governor on such desire.
