Delta govt dismisses viral public notice ordering arrest of indecently dressed youths

The Delta State Government has unequivocally refuted a widely circulated public notice on WhatsApp and various social media platforms, claiming to authorize special security personnel to apprehend youths found dressed indecently throughout the state.
