The Delta State Police Command has recorded another major win in its crackdown on armed criminal gangs in Oghara and nearby communities.
In a follow-up operation on November 25, 2025, officers of the CP-Special Assignment Team (CP-SAT), led by ASP Julius Robinson, arrested two additional suspects, 38-year-old Justice Ikutu and 55-year-old Peter Okomeje at separate locations in Oghara.
The raid came after the arrest of confessed cultists and the recovery of a pump-action gun on November 24.
A search of the home of one associate, identified as Peter Kome, led to the recovery of an AK-47 rifle fitted with a double magazine and other items linked to cultism and armed robbery.
All suspects are currently in police custody as investigations continue to track down other gang members.
Commissioner of Police, CP Olufemi Abaniwonda, applauded the CP-SAT team for its swift, coordinated action and urged residents to stay alert and continue providing useful intelligence to support ongoing security efforts in Delta State.
