The Delta State Police Command has arrested a suspected armed robber and recovered weapons and ammunition in Ughelli North Local Government Area during the Yuletide period.
Police operatives from the Commissioner of Police Special Assignment Team (CP-SAT), led by ASP Julius Robinson, acted on credible intelligence on December 28, 2025, and carried out a swift, coordinated raid on a suspected criminal hideout in the Otorwhodo area of Ughelli North LGA.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed the operation in a statement issued on Wednesday.
Edafe said the raid resulted in the arrest of a 24-year-old suspect, Moses Tejiri, a native and resident of the area, while other gang members reportedly fled by jumping over nearby fences.
He disclosed that a search of the suspect led to the recovery of one long-barrelled gun, 10 live cartridges, two locally fabricated Beretta pistols, and 11 rounds of live ammunition.
According to the police, preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect made useful confessional statements, admitting his involvement in several armed robbery incidents around Ekredjebor, Olu Avenue, Winners Road, and other parts of the Ughelli metropolis.
