Delta Police command urges residents to submit illegal arms
The Delta police command have called on members of the public who have illegal and prohibited firearms in their possession to surrender such firearms to any nearby police station, Area command or police headquarters
This was made known by a statement signed by the state police commissioner Wale Abass, made available to Galaxy news.
The Delta police commissioner said the order is in line with the directives of the inspector general of police IGP Olukayode Egbetokun, urging all individuals involved in the wrongful possession of arms and light weapons that a wilful submission of such to police will attract no sanction.
The directive according to the police, is aimed at reducing the number of guns in circulation across the state, and also to stop firearms from getting into wrong hands and being used by offenders to commit crime on the streets or anywhere else in the country.
Those who refused to heed the call by the police according to the Commissioner, will face the full wrath of the law when caught.
The Delta CP urges Deltans to report all suspicious firearms related activities to the nearest police station or the police public relations officer at the commands headquarters in Asaba.
