Delta State Police Command apprehended two suspects allegedly linked to an armed robbery syndicate operating in a tricycle on October 11, 2026. Bright Edafe, the command's spokesperson, announced the arrests following credible reports of their criminal activities. The suspects, Musa Haruna, 22, and Mubarak Abdulahi, 20, were apprehended by the Orerokpe Division in collaboration with the Civilian Anti-Cult Group and local vigilantes.
The operation took place along Osubi Road, where operatives intercepted the suspects in a tricycle registered as BDG 429 QN. Edafe disclosed that during the search, they recovered a locally manufactured double-barreled shotgun, seven live cartridges, and a jackknife. Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects were allegedly part of a criminal syndicate involved in robbing and abducting passengers, coercing them to transfer money from their bank accounts.
