From Monday Ochuko – Asaba
Delta State Police Command says, on 05/02/2024 while men of Dragon Patrol were conducting stop and search along Kwale – Ogwashi-Uku Expressway, they intercepted a commercial Sienna Bus conveying passengers from Ughelli to Asaba.
The team subjected the passengers to a random search, during which one locally fabricated Pistol and two live cartridges were recovered from one Fedelis Akpos aged 23 years, a resident of Ewhu Community Ughelli South L.G.A.
The suspect concealed the gun and cartridges inside a polythene bag containing smoked fish to serve as a decoy, but the professionally trained Policemen uncovered the exhibit despite his antics. Suspect is in custody and the investigation is ongoing.
In another development, on 7/2/2024 operatives of Rapid Response Squad (RRS) while conducting stop and search at Head-Bridge Asaba, flagged down a Toyota Hiace bus for a routine check.
