Delta Police Command's State Anti-Kidnapping Unit (SAKU) stumbled upon a warehouse of allegedly adulterated "Gbefun Hot Drink" during a stop-and-search along the Warri–Agbarho Expressway. The 44-year-old driver was apprehended on August 17th, 2026. Police spokesman, SP Edafe Bright, revealed that a subsequent search at a warehouse in Lower Ginuwa, Warri, uncovered more of the questionable beverages, an assortment of other drinks, and a Suzuki Shuttle bus packed with similar contraband.
The suspects deserted the scene upon noticing the police. Bright vowed to continue pursuing the case to catch the alleged operators and uncover the source and distribution network. Delta State's Commissioner of Police, CP Yemi Oyeniyi, praised the police for their efforts and stressed the importance of public cooperation in providing timely and reliable information.
The command also reported success in Agbor and Warri, with the arrest of two suspects and the seizure of ammunition. A female suspect, 28-year-old Happiness Clifford, was apprehended in Agbor on suspicion of gun-running. Police found 10 live cartridges hidden in a bucket during a search of her hideout. Her husband, Clifford Okoro, is being sought as a major distributor of the ammunition.
