Police Explain Why VeryDarkMan’s Ratel Members Were Detained During Ibusa Clean-Up

Members of VeryDarkMan’s Ratel movement were taken to a police station in Ibusa, Delta State, while carrying out a monthly sanitation exercise. The group initially alleged they were arrested for cleaning the community. However, the Delta State Police Command said residents raised concerns because the volunteers were not known in the area and had not informed community leaders or the police before starting the exercise. Police spokesperson SP Bright Edafe said the Divisional Police Officer interviewed the members, confirmed that they were carrying out genuine community service, and allowed them to leave. No charges were announced.

A sanitation exercise should not automatically be treated as proof that nothing else required police attention.

Both the movement and police should clearly state the timeline and reason for the station visit to reduce speculation.
