  "account": "The Delta State Police Command has apprehended two individuals and seized two pump-action firearms, 18 live bullets, four daggers, a battle axe and other dangerous items during separate intelligence-led operations in Obiaruku and Isupe Community, Ndokwa West Local Government Area. Acting on credible intelligence, officers from the Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU) and Anti-Cult Unit (ACCU) stormed a residence in Obiaruku on September 12, 2026 to apprehend 36-year-old Joel Iwomi, who was allegedly in possession of a firearm and ammunition. The suspect resisted arrest, but officers eventually entered the residence, recovered the firearm and cartridges, and arrested Iwomi. In a separate operation on September 9, 2026, ACCU operatives apprehended Chukwuka Nzete, also known as \"Ododo,\" in Isupe Community. Nzete was suspected of involvement in illicit firearm sales and operated a shrine where criminal elements took refuge. Police recovered another pump-action gun, four daggers, a battle axe and pots containing substances believed to be charms during a search of Nzete's residence. The suspects are currently in custody, and investigations are ongoing.",
