Summary: Delta State Police Command has arrested four suspects in connection with the death of Deputy Director Unity Ekpevbughe Adeda, who was attacked at the Delta State Secretariat. Two more suspects remain at large as the manhunt intensifies.
The Delta State Police Command has swung into action following the tragic death of Mr. Unity Ekpevbughe Adeda, a Deputy Director in the Ministry of Secondary Education, who lost his life after suffering a brutal assault at the Delta State Secretariat.
Four suspects have already been taken into custody, while security operatives are intensifying their search for two others who are currently on the run. The development has sent shockwaves through the civil service community in Delta State, raising serious concerns about the safety of government workers even within the supposedly secure walls of a state secretariat.
What We Know So Far
Mr. Adeda, who served as a Deputy Director in the Ministry of Secondary Education, was attacked in an incident that has left many Deltans deeply disturbed. The circumstances surrounding the assault — happening right inside a government establishment — have sparked outrage among Nigerians who argue that no one should fear for their life at their place of work.
The police have confirmed the arrest of four suspects connected to the heinous act and have assured the public that the remaining two individuals will be apprehended soon. Investigations are currently ongoing.
Deltans React With Outrage
News of the death has stirred strong reactions across Delta State and beyond. Many Nigerians have taken to social media to condemn the attack, with several questioning how such violence could occur within the premises of a state government secretariat.
“This is unacceptable,” one commenter wrote online. “If a government official is not safe inside a government building, then where are any of us safe?”
Civil servants across the state have expressed fear and uncertainty, calling on the Delta State Government and the Police Command to ensure justice is served swiftly and that security at government facilities is significantly improved.
Justice Must Be Served
The death of Mr. Unity Ekpevbughe Adeda is not just a personal tragedy for his family — it is a wake-up call for authorities at every level. Delta State Government and the Nigeria Police Force must ensure that this case is prosecuted to its fullest extent, and that the two remaining suspects are brought to book without delay.
No family should have to bury a breadwinner because violence was allowed to fester unchecked. No civil servant should walk into their office wondering if they will make it home alive.
As the investigation continues, Nigerians will be watching closely to see that justice is not only promised — but truly delivered.
