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. Emergency responses often took hours because security personnel had to travel from distant locations such as Koko and Warri. Today, that narrative has changed. 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. Emmanuel Omoko (popularly known as Alhaji), with the support of Opuama community leadership. This achievement demonstrates what purposefu...

By
By EgbemaVoice, The winner of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, House of Representatives primary for Warri Federal Constituency, Comrade (Chief) Sheriff Mulade has threatened to sue the party for N5 billion over alleged substitution of his candidacy ahead of the 2027 general elections.

South-South Faces Growing Security Threats, IPF Calls for Immediate Revival of BRACED Commission,

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. Recent reports show that kidnapping, banditry and violent criminality are no longer confined to their former flashpoints. Reuters recently reported that kidnapping-for-ransom attacks have spread southward, including school abductions in Oyo State, while Nigeria’s parliament has advanced state police reforms due to the deepening national security crisis. The South-South governors must treat these developments as a serious warning. No responsible regional leadership should wait until bandits, kidnappers, terrorists and criminal cartels become entrenched before ac...
