 The vice presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party PDP and governor of Delta State Senator Ifain Okowa has commiserated with the Delta Police Command and family's off-police officers killed by unknown government in a number of states. According to a statement released on Saturday by the Delta State government, the officers inspector Laki Ale, inspector Celestin Muadyoku, and inspector Jude Oboe were attached to the explosive ordnance disposal EOD unit in Government House Osaba. They were ambushed and killed around 1.30 p.m. yesterday, Friday, February 10 by unknown government along Ihala or Low Road and route Umahi on official duty. Delta State Commissioner for Information Mr. Chow's annual book, who briefs journalists on the sad incident, said the late officers would be greatly missed for their contributions to the peace and development of Delta. He described the unfortunate killing of the officers as barbaric and unacceptable in a country seeking to be united again for peace and development. It's most unfortunate that these gallant officers, just like many others who have also lost their life in the past, have lost their life on account of these activities of individuals who today not describe themselves as unknown government, who are pleading with them to shoot their sword and begin to allow that love for which the people of the South East have been known for over the years so that as a people, as Nigerians, we can all continue to co-exist. We pray the good Lord Almighty to accept the soul of these our loved ones, three of them that have passed on due to no fault of theirs, we also pray that God give their families the fortitude to also bear these irreparable loss even as we seek justice on their behalf both as a government, as a state and as a people.
