The statement noted that Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi said he had a burial ceremony to attend on Friday, September 25th, 2020 and would honour the invitation on Monday September 28th, 2020.

The statement further reads:”On Monday September, 28th2020, Kenneth Gbagi called the Commissioner of Police to say that he has a court case to attend to, promising to report at the Police Headquarters in Asaba by 3:00pm; again he was equally obliged.

On the same date, the Commissioner of Police had to call him at about 5:00pm before the same Kenneth Gbagi said he was on his way to the State HQ Asaba.

“Sadly and unfortunately Kenneth Gbagi still failed to report, instead he went into the public space to disparage, blackmail and malign the person of the Commissioner of Police and the Nigeria Police Force, Delta State Command for insisting on investigating him.

Having failed to honour his promises, Delta State Police Command is left with no option but to declare Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi wanted.”
