In a historic moment for the people of Ugborikoko in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State, joy and celebration filled the air as an ultra-modern police station—fully built and equipped by Tantita Security Services Nigeria Ltd—was officially commissioned.
The new Ugborikoko Police Station, a gift from Tantita Security under the leadership of High Chief Government Ekpemupolo (alias Tompolo), was constructed to boost security infrastructure and promote lasting peace in the region. The facility, which reflects a deep commitment to community safety, boasts cutting-edge features, including a newly built quarter guard post, a dedicated generator house, an extensive drainage system for a cleaner environment, and a completely remodeled police hall designed for modern law enforcement operations.
Notably, the station is powered by a robust 30KVA solar system alongside a 30KVA soundproof generator, ensuring 24/7 electricity. It also comes equipped with CCTV surveillance, advanced computer systems for digital policing, television sets, air-conditioning units, a fully furnished conference room, and an interrogation suite—all tailored to enhance policing efficiency. To further empower mobility, two brand-new Hilux patrol vehicles were donated as part of the project.
Speaking at the commissioning, the Managing Director of Tantita Security Services, High Chief Kestin E. Pondi, emphasized that security remains a shared responsibility between the government and communities. He noted that Tantita, as a private security company with grassroots origins and global vision, is dedicated to rebuilding trust and peace in Warri, Effurun, and surrounding areas through strategic support of the Nigeria Police Force.
