The operation, conducted on Friday, 3 July 2026, was led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Department of Operations (DOPS). It covered Agbor metropolis, major highways, entry and exit points, as well as border communities between Delta and Edo States.

The affected vehicles will be charged before a court of competent jurisdiction.
