Sapele Protests: Take-It-Back Movement Condemns Police Brutality, Unlawful Detention As Delta Governor’s Aide Sunday Wankego Allegedly Evades Probe

The Delta State chapter of the Take It Back Movement (TIB) has strongly condemned alleged police misconduct, unlawful detention, and selective enforcement of the law following protests in Sapele, Delta State. The protests were sparked by accusations of police brutality, the illegal deployment of police officers for private purposes, and the alleged operation of unauthorised detention facilities reportedly linked to the Senior Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor, Mr. Sunday Okeke Wankego.
TIB alleged that a complainant who reported an assault was unlawfully detained by police at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Asaba, while the principal suspect allegedly failed to honour an invitation for questioning. The movement described the situation as a grave injustice and secondary victimisation, warning that political influence may be undermining due process and presidential directives on police withdrawal from VIP and private attachments.
Calling for a transparent and independent investigation, TIB demanded the immediate release of any unlawfully detained victims and accountability for officers found to have abused their powers, stressing that continued inaction risks eroding public trust in law enforcement institutions.
