The Delta Police Command has arrested two robbery suspects in Aladja community, Udu Local Government Area.
SP Bright Edafe, the command’s spokesperson, made this announcement on Tuesday in Warri.
Edafe reported that the suspects were apprehended by officers from the Aladja police out-station after responding to a distress call about an ongoing robbery in the community.
“The district officer, alongside members of the community, mobilised to the scene where the suspects were arrested at Igwere Quarters, Aladja.
“One locally-made gun, cartridges, knife and a suspected stolen phone were recovered from them,” he said.
Edafe said the suspects were currently in police custody, adding that an investigation into the case was ongoing.
In another development, Edafe said the command’s operatives on special assignment, deployed to Ughelli, also arrested a suspected cultist.
The spokesman said the suspect, whom he described as a “notorious cultist”, was apprehended on Friday by the police team led by ASP Julius Robinson.
“Acting on credible intelligence on the peddling of arms and an intended cult clash within the Oteri community in Ughelli North, operatives led by ASP Robinson trailed a notorious cultist and a mastermind of the intended cult clash to a hotel in Ughelli.
“The suspect, who is a member of the Eiye confraternity, was arrested.
“Upon interrogation, the suspect took operatives to his residence where a Berretta pistol was recovered,” he said.
Edafe said the investigation on the matter was ongoing.
