Delta Police Arrest Suspect with Pistol Concealed in a Loaf of Bread
Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Delta State Command, have arrested a suspected armed robber and kidnapper who allegedly ingeniously concealed a fabricated Beretta pistol, inside a loaf of bread.
The suspect was intercepted on November 6, at about 0845 hrs by operatives while conducting a routine stop-and-search operation at the Koka roundabout, Asaba, the Delta State capital.
The state Police Public Relations Officer SP Bright Edafe who confirmed this in a statement, on Saturday, said that the police team intercepted the young man whose suspicious behaviour prompted a thorough search.
He disclosed that in the course of the search, a fabricated Beretta pistol was discovered carefully concealed inside a loaf of bread.
The suspect, later identified as Nnamdi Stanley Chibuike, aged 24, of Ogbeowele Quarters, behind General Hospital, Asaba, was immediately arrested and taken into custody.
The recovered weapon has been secured as an exhibit, while an investigation is ongoing to ascertain his possible connection with incidents of armed robbery and kidnapping within the Asaba metropolis and adjoining communities.
Edafe added that the arrest has once again demonstrated the command’s commitment to proactive policing and intelligence-led operations.
In his remarks, the Commissioner of Police, CP Abaniwonda Olufemi, commended the operatives for their vigilance and professionalism, describing the discovery as proof of the Command’s sustained intelligence-driven operations.
He reaffirmed the Command’s resolve to identify, arrest, and prosecute criminal elements regardless of their tactics, while urging residents to remain vigilant and provide credible information.
The CP assured that all reports will be treated with confidentiality and reiterated his commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all residents across Delta State.
