According to the press statement forwarded by SP Bright Edafe the Delta state Police Public Relation officer ( PRO) Insight Global News report that:
The Delta State Police Command has cracked down on the sales and distribution of illicit drugs. In furtherance to the marching order by Commissioner of Police, CP Samuel E. Erale, psc, mnips, operatives of the Department of Operations, while on routine patrol along Alegwe Street, off Owa Road, Agbor, acted on credible intelligence and raided a store suspected to be used for the sale of illicit drugs.
During the operation, six suspects were arrested, namely: 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. 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.
The commissioner of Police, CP Samuel E. Erale, psc, mnips, 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.
