The Eminent Persons Forum will be engaged in conflict resolution arbitration.

The Governor congratulated the IGP on his well deserved appointment and promised to cooperate and assist the IGP in the task of crime management.

The IGP who was accompanied on the visit by the Commissioner of Police in charge Police Mobile Force, Commissioner of Police in charge Border Patrol, Heads of Operational and Tactical Teams as well as the Commissioner of Police, Delta State conducted aerial surveillance/patrol of some riverine communities, which include Ugborodo, Madawo, Oparaza and Camp Five.

He assured the communities that the Police under his leadership will engage every community in accordance with international core values of policing with integrity, respect diversity, operate within the principles of democratic policing and cultivate the culture of professionalism.

The Community Leaders assured the IGP of their unalloyed support, cooperation and active partnership.
