Delta Gov’t orders inquest into killing of man by soldiers

Delta State Government on Thursday called for an investigation into the killing of a 28-year-old Joseph Pessu in Warri.

The State Commissioner for Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu in a statement in Asaba said the government was worried about the report of an alleged killing of a 28-year old man in Warri by security agencies on regular patrol duty.

The Commissioner said the state government has sent a delegation to the deceased family to condole with them over the loss of their son. He stated that the military authorities have been contacted to carry out an investigation into what led to the killing of the deceased.

He, however, called on the people to remain calm and not to take laws into their hands while the government conducts an investigation into the killing.

Mr Aniagwu thanked Deltans for their cooperation so far by remaining indoors and called for further cooperation with the State Government in the best interest of Deltans.
