As the Christmas and New Year celebrations approach, the Commissioner of Police in Delta State, CP Wale Abass, has issued a ban on the sale and utilization of fireworks, knockouts, firecrackers, and other pyrotechnics.
This decision has been made in order to prioritize state security and minimize risks.

CP Abass warned in strong terms that,” any dealer or resident who fails to abide by the ban, when caught, would be made to face the wrath of the law.
“On this note, parents and guardians are urged to monitor their wards and curtail their use of knockouts during Christmas and New Year celebrations.”
He urged the good people of Delta to be vigilant and security conscious as he reaffirmed the Command’s commitment and willingness to protect the life and properties of residents during the yuletide season and beyond.
The Commissioner of Police on behalf of officers and men of the Command, wishes the good people of Delta State a crime-free Christmas and New Year celebration in advance.
