The Delta State Police Command has arrested 16 suspects and recovered two firearms, a stolen Toyota Camry, and quantities of suspected illicit drugs in separate operations across the state.
The command said the operations also led to the disruption of a suspected cult gathering, the foiling of an alleged extortion attempt at a construction site, and the arrest of suspects linked to suspected drug activities.
In a statement issued on Thursday by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, the command said eight suspects were arrested during a raid on a suspected cult gathering in Aragba-Orogun.
The operation was carried out by operatives of the Command Anti-Cult Unit, Ozoro, following credible intelligence about a planned cult gathering.
