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...

David Osia, former Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Edo State Governor, has strongly condemned what he described as "unwarranted and unconstructive attacks" against High Chief (Dr.) Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, by Mr. Jude Gbayor, Yemi Otuedon, Oliver Fejero, and others.

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...

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. According to Ifeajika, who spoke in an interview on Politics HQ on News Central Television, there is no record anywhere that stakeholders in the seeming renewed agitation for creation of Anioma State intimated Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on it nor was there an expression, in a correspondence or declaration, of a collective will of the people for the quest. “A state governor must be aware that part of the state he is governing wishes to be made a different state. But, in the case in point, I am not aware that promote...
