The Delta State Police Command has confirmed the death of two persons yesterday at the Jesse Police Station in Jesse, Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State, after they were alleged to have stormed the police formation at the early hours of Wednesday in an attempt to free some robbery suspects.

The Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Onome Onowhakpoyeya, who confirmed the attack, told newsmen that two persons were shot dead after they attacked the Jesse Police Station cell in the early hours of the day, and attempted to free some robbery suspects.

He disclosed that they had actually broken the key of the cell when Policemen on duty, reenforced and went after them and two of them were shot dead in the process.

However, a source from the community who pleaded anonymity told reporters  that the police were economical with  the truth, saying that one of those Yahoo boys had an issue with another one involving money and one chased the other into the police station with a machete, and right there butchered him to death and was running away when the police shot him.

The source said, residents of the community were angered by the brutal way the guy was shot so they mobilised themselves with an intention to set the station on fire, and in the process, a woman was hit by stray bullet and  is now receiving treatment in an undisclosed clinic in town.

Another report said earlier this month, cultists engaged in confrontations in broad daylight needing police intervention.
