The police in Delta State have arrested four suspects over alleged armed robbery and cultism in separate operations across the state.
This was contained in a statement by the Command’s spokesman, Bright Edafe, on Tuesday in Asaba.
Mr Edafe, a superintendent of police, said that on 14 July, a joint team of Police operatives and members of the Civilian Anti-Cult group mobilised and trailed a suspected armed robbery gang on the Asaba–Benin Expressway.
He said the suspects, Stephen Danladi, 29 and Jude Christian, 26, were subsequently arrested. “A search of the suspects led to the recovery of two locally made pistols.
“Preliminary interrogation yielded further intelligence, which led operatives to Issele-Asagba and Ogwashi-Uku, where one Jerry Egenus of Atuma-Iga, Oshimili North Local Government Area was arrested for alleged gun running and receiving stolen property,” Mr Edafe said.
