Dickson tasks JTF on security challenges
Bayelsa State Governor Henry Seriake Dickson has cautioned the new
commander of the Federal Government security outfit in the Niger
Delta, code named, “Operation Delta Safe” to be professional in
addressing security challenges in the region.
A statement issued in Yenagoa by his Chief Press Secretary, Daniel
Iworiso-Markson, said the governor issued the warning when he received
the new Commander of the Joint Military Task Force, Rear Admiral Joseph
Okojie.
He emphasised the need for the law enforcement agents to be neutral in dealing with criminal activities.
While commending the Federal government for retaining the headquarters
of the “Operation Delta Safe” in Bayelsa, Dickson said, the operations
of the security outfit, especially its maritime component, has a
crucial role to play, as the state is predominantly riverine in nature.
Governor Dickson, who expressed confidence in the ability of the
officers and men of the new command, called for non-interference in
their activities in the interest of national peace and stability,
because of the strategic position the Niger Delta occupies in the
country.
