The Director General of Security in Delta State, Hon. David Tonwe, has cleared the air regarding growing concerns about insecurity within the state. Tonwe, while addressing recent narratives being peddled against the state government, emphasized that the administration of Rt. Hon. Elder Sheriff Oborevwori is fully committed to ensuring the safety of lives and property across all parts of Delta State.

According to Tonwe, many of those raising alarm about insecurity are, in fact, the very elements responsible for creating tension and disturbances within the state. He described their actions as deliberate attempts to undermine the efforts of the state government and its security operatives, painting a false picture of lawlessness for selfish interests.

Speaking to Press Men Tonwe reiterated that Delta State remains one of the safest places in the country. “Listen to me, Delta is safe,” he affirmed. “The Nigeria Police Force, the Army, and other security agencies are working round the clock to maintain peace and order. We will not allow a handful of individuals to destabilize our state.”

Tonwe also reminded the public that no nation, let alone a state, is completely free from security challenges. He drew comparisons with more developed nations like the United States, where incidents of insecurity still persist despite their advanced resources and infrastructure. He argued that Delta State is faring well given its diverse population and the numerous vested interests at play.

He commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for his unwavering dedication to both development and security matters in the state. Tonwe highlighted several proactive measures and strategic security operations being implemented to combat crime and protect residents. According to him, the governor’s leadership has brought relative peace and progressive transformation to Delta State.

In a firm warning, Tonwe urged those fueling insecurity to desist from such actions or be prepared to face the full wrath of the law. He stated unequivocally that the government will no longer tolerate any attempts to disrupt the peace and stability currently enjoyed in the state. “We are determined to identify and bring all perpetrators to justice,” he said.

In conclusion, the DG called on the good people of Delta State to remain vigilant and cooperate with security operatives. He encouraged residents to report any suspicious activities in their communities and assured them of the government’s readiness to swiftly respond to any threats. “Together, we will continue to keep Delta safe,”
