The Delta State Police Command has explained why members of the social media activist,\u00a0VeryDarkMan\u2019s<\/a> Ratel Movement, were apprehended while carrying out a sanitation exercise in Ibusa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naija News<\/a> understands that members of the group had alleged that they were arrested while undertaking their normal monthly community sanitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey arrested us for cleaning Ibusa in Delta State,\u201d<\/em> one of the members said.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the accusation, the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, said preliminary findings showed that the group\u2019s intentions were genuine.<\/p>\n

Edafe explained that the problem arose because the Ratel members entered a community where they were not known and began their activities without first informing the police or community leaders.<\/p>\n

Residents who did not recognise the group subsequently contacted the police.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom findings, they were doing community service. However, when you want to do community service in a place you are not known, it\u2019s important to consult the leaders and inform the authorities like the police or community heads about your organisation and intention.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe community didn\u2019t recognise them, hence they invited the police,\u201d<\/em> Edafe wrote on \ud835\udd4f.<\/p>\n

According to the police spokesperson, the Divisional Police Officer interviewed the Ratel members and confirmed that they were genuinely carrying out community service.<\/p>\n

He said they were subsequently allowed to leave the station.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DPO interviewed them and discovered their intentions were genuine, and they were allowed to go. Not everything should be turned to content, please,\u201d<\/em> Edafe added.<\/p>\n

The police explanation indicates that the Ratel members were taken in following concerns raised by residents rather than for cleaning the community.<\/p>\n

No charges were announced against the group after the police established the purpose of the sanitation exercise.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
