Delta Police Arrest Two Suspects, Recover Pistols, Suspected Cocaine, Stolen Benz SUV
Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have arrested two suspected criminals and recovered firearms, live ammunition, suspected cocaine, and other incriminating exhibits during a stop-and-search operation carried out by operatives of the Safer Highway Patrol along the Agbarho–Warri Road on 25 July 2026.
The suspects, Omini Ezeri (46) and Chinedum Wagbara (42), both residents of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, were intercepted while travelling in a grey Mercedes-Benz ML SUV with registration number AAA 604 JZ.
State Police Public Relations Officer SP Bright Edafe, in a statement on Monday, said that during preliminary interrogation, a third occupant of the vehicle, God Knows Ifreke, suddenly took to his heels and escaped into a nearby swamp.
He said that a thorough search of the vehicle led to the recovery of two locally fabricated Beretta pistols loaded with nine rounds of live ammunition, approximately 200 grams of a substance suspected to be cocaine, one walkie-talkie, one dagger, one grinder, and two sophisticated phones.
The suspects are in custody, while efforts are ongoing to arrest the fleeing suspect.
The Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command, CP Yemi Oyeniyi, commended the operatives for their vigilance and professionalism.
He reaffirmed the command’s commitment towards ensuring that Delta State remains a hostile environment for criminals and all those involved in the unlawful possession of firearms and trafficking in illicit drugs.
He urged members of the public to continue supporting the Police with timely and credible information that will aid ongoing efforts to keep the State safe.
