The Delta State Police Command has threatened to detain, look into, and prosecute any individual who cannot explain their income source and has dubious sources of money.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, Bright Edafe, the public relations officer for the State Command Police, said this on Sunday via his X handle.
The police spokesperson stated that officers have the authority to detain those who cannot provide proof of their income and to prosecute them if proven guilty.

Edafe made fun of the belief held by certain Nigerians that it is improper to inquire about their “suspicious wealth.”
He mentioned that other cases of kidnapping, ritual killings, and online fraud have been handled by the force. According to Edafe, the police has instructed its agents to act honourably and refrain from using legitimate sources of money as a pretext to blackmail Nigerians.
“It is a very sad trend that people feel it’s wrong to question the suspicious wealth of persons who cannot lay claim to any justifiable means of income. We have cases of ritual killings, Kidnapping, and even internet fraud. We tell our men to do the right thing and not take it as an avenue to extort.
“However, any person arrested and can’t justify his source of income should be properly investigated and charged to court when the cockroach in his cupboard has been unveiled. Like me, hate me, I don’t mind, it’s the simple truth,” Edafe wrote on the microblogging platform.
