PRESS RELEASE RE: ASABA/SAPELE IS SITTING ON A TIME BOMB DELTA POLICE COMMAND REFUTES CLAIM, CALLS FOR SUPPORT TOWARDS HITCH-FREE LG ELECTIONS           The attention of the Delta State Police Command has been drawn to the spurious and irresponsible rumour currently trending on WhatsApp, claiming that over 2000 members of Boko Haram are already in Asaba, as part of the agenda to Islamize Nigeria.           The Command considers such ill-conceived rumour-mongering as unacceptable and a calculated attempt to sow seeds of confusion, hate, chaos and anarchy in the state. It notes that the originator(s) and purveyors of the rumour cannot in any way correctly lay claim to being Christians as their message of hate is contrary to the message of the Bible as contained in Ephesians 4:29 which states:   “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up accord...

He now said he will not do budget so that he can be stealing our money smartly. All he is thinking of is how to buy conscience after stealing your money. Look at your wonderful faces but APC has said no more  police or army will accompany rigging. We wi...
