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.
