From Monday Ochuko – Asaba

Both leaders emphasised the importance of intelligence sharing, joint operations, and institutional cooperation in maintaining peace and security.
The separate visits underscored the Command’s resolve to strengthen inter-agency synergy and promote a coordinated approach to crime prevention and public safety across Delta State.
