By Whistleblower Team.
A leading media monitoring organization, The Whistleblower, has commended the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Sapele Division, CSP Johnbull Obioguru, for his outstanding developmental initiatives and commitment to community policing. The group made this known during a recent on-the-spot assessment visit to the Sapele Police Station, Delta State, as part of their regional oversight on public office performance in the South-South.
Led by its Convener, Comrade Nelson Agbajor, a respected journalist, public affairs analyst, and Editor-in-Chief of Nel Xpress Magazine , the media team expressed satisfaction with the transformation taking place at the Sapele Division under CSP Obioguru's leadership. They described the visible progress as unprecedented and exemplary, urging other divisions in the state to emulate such impactful leadership.
According to Comrade Agbajor, the renovation of the police station has brought a complete facelift to the division. Facilities such as the administrative offices, the detention cell, and offices for officers have been rehabilitated and fitted with modern furnishings, state-of-the-art CCTV systems, and other critical infrastructure aimed at improving police service delivery.
The team also noted ongoing infrastructural upgrades, including the construction of a new police post, digital signposts, the interlocking of the station premises, and the renovation of the DPO’s residential quarters. The Sapele Police Clinic has also received attention, reflecting a holistic approach to welfare and working conditions within the force.
The Whistleblower team further commended CSP Obioguru’s commitment to training and retraining personnel from Sapele and neighboring divisions like Jesse, Koko, Oghara, Abraka, and Mosogar. These training programs are focused on arms handling, modern policing techniques, and professionalism , all aimed at boosting the effectiveness of police officers.
Similarly, on security operations, the group highlighted recent successes in crime prevention and enforcement. Notably, over six suspected criminals were recently apprehended around the NDDC axis, many of whom were reported to be non-residents of Sapele. The DPO, under his declared mandate of “Operation No Hiding Place for Criminals,” continues to lead aggressive efforts to rid the community of crime and safeguard lives and property.
While applauding the division’s efficient patrol system, the group called on the state government and relevant authorities to provide additional patrol vehicles to further strengthen mobility and responsiveness in the area.
The Delta State Commissioner of Police is scheduled to officially commission the newly renovated Sapele Police Headquarters on Saturday, September 27. The Whistleblower team will also be extending its monitoring tour to other Local Government Areas across Delta State and beyond to evaluate projects initiated by political office holders and organizations, in line with its mission to ensure quality service delivery and accountability.
