A total of 81 suspected criminals have been arrested by operatives of the Delta State Police Command during intelligence-led raids on identified criminal black spots within the Asaba metropolis.
The command’s spokesman, SP Bright Edafe, disclosed this in a statement signed and made available to journalists in Warri on Saturday.
He said the operation, which was carried out on July 24, 2026, formed part of the command’s proactive strategy to dismantle criminal networks and deny offenders safe havens across the state.
Edafe said the operation was led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Department of Operations, alongside tactical teams of the command.
