Delta police arrest four suspected armed robbers/cultists, intercept illicit drugs, recover pistols

Delta State Police Command has recorded successes in its operations across the state capital, Asaba, and its environs with the arrests of four suspected armed robbers/cultists, while two pistols were recovered from them.

The command also intercepted a truck loaded with illicit drugs, with its driver, one Dennis Uruma, arrested.

The arrests, according to Command’s spokesman SP Bright Edafe, followed coordinated, intelligence-led deployments by operatives of the ‘B’ Division, Asaba, the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), and the Eagle Net Special Squad (ENSS).

Explaining how the command made the achievements, SP said that on Wednesday, October 1, “the Divisional Police Officer, B Division Asaba, CSP Edewor Akponegware, led his surveillance team in a swift response to a distress report about a robbery incident around the BONSAAC axis of Asaba, where a female victim was dispossessed of her phone and other valuables at gunpoint by two male suspects.

“Working with local vigilantes, the team established a discreet cordon and began a methodical sweep of adjoining streets.

“The coordinated push paid off when officers intercepted one suspect, Amara Nwako (male, 21), an indigene of Oko, while his accomplice fled into an uncompleted building.

“A locally-made pistol was recovered during a search of the immediate vicinity. Preliminary findings revealed a possible cult affiliation linking the suspect to a certain Arobaga secret cult.

“The suspect remains in custody while a manhunt is underway for the fleeing accomplice.”

The PPRO stated that in a separate operation, on Thursday, October 2, a patrol team of Eagle Net Special Squad, Asaba, led by its Commander, SP Danyaya Yunusa, working in synergy with the office of the Executive Assistant to the Delta State Governor on Illicit Drugs and Human Trafficking, intercepted a truck with registration number 3BGT 18LG, driven by one Dennis Uruma, a 52-year-old male of Igalamela Local Government Area, Kogi State.

“A search yielded large quantities of suspected illicit drugs. The driver was arrested; counting and measurement of exhibits are ongoing,” he disclosed.

In another development, on October 3, the PPRO said that operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), led by the Commander, CSP Nosa Alex, while acting on credible intelligence, conducted a targeted raid on a suspected criminal hideout around the Basket Market area of Asaba.

Three suspects arrested during the operation were Rabbi Godwin (25), Lucky Nanakumo (20), and David Igwe (19).

He stated: “A search of the location yielded one fabricated Beretta pistol which was recovered and secured as evidence.

The suspects remain in RRS custody as investigators intensify efforts to arrest additional gang members and recover more weapons.

The Commissioner of Police, Olufemi Abaniwonda, in his comment reiterated the Command’s zero tolerance for violent crime, cultism, armed robbery, and drug trafficking.

He enjoined residents to remain vigilant and continue to share timely, credible information to help the Police serve the public better.

He assured that the Command would continue to work with relevant agencies and community partners to dismantle criminal networks, recover weapons, and interrupt drug supply lines.
