Police Arrest Two Suspected Cultists in Delta, Recover Five Firearms and Illicit Drugs

The Delta State Police Command has arrested two men suspected of involvement in cult-related activities and recovered five firearms alongside suspected illicit drugs during separate security operations across the state. The arrests form part of ongoing efforts by the police to tackle cultism, armed robbery, drug-related offences and other criminal activities threatening public safety. The operation reportedly followed intelligence gathering and targeted enforcement actions by police operatives.

According to the police, the suspects were apprehended during coordinated operations aimed at identifying and dismantling criminal networks operating within Delta State. During the searches, officers recovered five firearms believed to be connected to criminal activities, as well as substances suspected to be illicit drugs. The recovered items have been taken into police custody as exhibits to support further investigations into the activities of the suspects.

The police command disclosed that investigations were ongoing to establish the suspects’ alleged involvement in cult-related violence and determine whether they were connected to other criminal activities in the state. Authorities are also working to identify possible accomplices and trace the sources of the recovered weapons and drugs. The arrests are part of broader security measures designed to prevent violent confrontations between rival groups and reduce the circulation of illegal firearms.

The Delta State Police Command reiterated its commitment to maintaining peace and protecting lives and property across the state. Residents were encouraged to provide useful information about suspicious movements and criminal activities to security agencies. The police also warned individuals involved in cultism, illegal possession of firearms and drug-related offences that offenders would be brought before the law. Investigations into the arrests and recovered items are continuing.
