Meanwhile, the former chairman of Warri South Local Government Area, Dr Michael Tidi, has lauded operatives of the Delta State Police Command and other security agencies for the security arrangements put in place at Saturday’s local government elections in the state.
“The professional conduct of the security agencies, including the DSS and NSCDC, contributed a lot to the peace recorded before, during and after the polls across the State,” he said.
Tidi, while appraising the security arrangements during the Council poll, noted that “the operatives did well”.
“We have to commend the Commissioner of Police, the DSS and the NSCDC for deploring their personnel at all polling units, which, in effect, helped in ensuring that the exercise was not only peaceful but hitch-free”, Tidi stated.
