BREAKING NEWS: ‎CJTF TF Delta State Command Issues Clarification on Identity.

‎FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

‎CJTF TF Delta State Command Issues Clarification on Identity

‎‎June 10, 2026 ‎Asaba, Delta State

‎

‎Clarification Statement from Citizen Joint Tactical Formation, Delta State Command

‎The Citizen Joint Tactical Formation (CJTF TF), Delta State Command, hereby notifies the general public, media organizations, government agencies, and security stakeholders that it is a distinct and independent organization from the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), Delta State Command.

‎

‎While both organizations operate within Delta State and contribute to community safety and security support efforts, they maintain separate identities, mandates, operational structures, and chains of command.

‎Distinguishing the Two Organizations

‎To prevent misidentification in public communications, official reports, and media coverage, the differences are outlined below:

‎

‎Why the clarification matters:

‎

‎1. Public identification: Similar acronyms have led to mistaken identity during joint security operations, community engagements, and media reports. 2. Operational clarity: Each group wants residents, security agencies, and the media to correctly attribute actions, statements, and responsibilities. 3. Command accountability: With separate structures, each organization reports through its own leadership and is accountable for its own personnel.

‎What remains the same:

‎Both organizations operate within Delta State and are involved in community security efforts. The statement did not provide details on the specific mandates or membership of either group.

‎

‎The CJTF TF Delta State Command urged the public, media outlets, and partner agencies to note the distinction in future references to avoid misreporting.

‎

‎What was not disclosed in the statement:

‎The release did not specify the exact mandates, founding dates, leadership names, or operational scope of either group. It focused only on establishing that they are separate entities.

‎

‎Why this happens in Delta State:

‎Delta State has multiple community-based security outfits that emerged to support formal security agencies. Similar naming conventions are common, and “CJTF” has been used by different formations across Nigeria. The “TF” in CJTF TF stands for “Tactical Formation,” which is the main differentiator.
