Delta Police Arrest 6 Suspects, Dismantle Illicit Drugs Shop
Operatives of the Delta State Police Command arrested six suspects involved in illicit drug trade following a major crackdown on the sales and distribution of illegal narcotics.
The suspects were apprehended by operatives of the Department of Operations, while on routine patrol along Alegwe Street, off Owa Road, Agbor
The operatives acted on credible intelligence and raided a store suspected to be used for the sale of illicit drugs, following a marching order by Commissioner of Police, CP Samuel E. Erale.
Police Public Relations Officer SP Bright Edafe, who confirmed this in a statement, on Thursday, said that during the operation, six suspects were arrested.
He gave the names of the suspects as: Anabel Haruna (18), Terhemen Faith (19), Kaityo Abigail (23), Iorkee Eunice (26), Osomuri Emmanuel (31), and a 15-year-old female juvenile whose identity is withheld.
Edafe said that a subsequent search of a vehicle linked to the suspects led to the recovery of quantities of Tramadol, Rohypnol and other suspected illicit substances.
The suspects and exhibits are in custody, while investigation is ongoing, he added.
Meanwhile, the commissioner of Police, CP Samuel E. Erale, has warned that the command will continue to identify and dismantle drug distribution networks operating within the State, noting that the proliferation of illicit drugs fuels violent crime and other forms of criminality.
He further directed operatives across the command to intensify intelligence gathering and enforcement against drug dealers and their networks, stressing that Delta State will not be allowed to become a safe haven for illicit drug trade or any form of criminal enterprise.
