PANDEF Demands Investigation into Political Violence in South-South

The Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), an apex socio-political organization representing the interests of the South-South region, has called on the Nigeria Police Force, Department of State Services (DSS), and other security agencies to investigate recent incidents of political violence in Warri and Asaba, Delta State, and Calabar, Cross River State, according to a report by Vanguard News. The organization’s call comes in the wake of escalating political tensions and violence in the region. PANDEF has expressed concern over the lack of adequate security measures in the affected areas and has urged the security agencies to take immediate action to maintain peace and order. The organization’s call for investigation and prosecution of those responsible for the violence highlights the need for effective policing and security in the South-South region, a critical concern for many Nigerians ahead of the 2027 general elections. The call by PANDEF underscores the need for the security agencies to take their responsibilities seriously and to act swiftly and decisively to prevent further violence and maintain peace and security in the region. The escalating political violence in the South-South region is a matter of serious concern for many Nigerians, and the call by PANDEF for the security agencies to take action is a welcome development that could help restore peace and order in the affected areas.
