Delta police arrest 11 suspected cultists, recover armsThe Delta Police Command has arrested 11 suspected cultists and armed robbers and recovered a locally made gun, four live cartridges and other incriminating items as part of an ongoing intelligence-led manhunt to curb cult-related violence across the state. The arrests followed recent cult clashes and killings in Ughelli and other parts of Delta State, which prompted the Commissioner of Police, CP Aina Adesola, to order intensified operations against criminal elements. In Ughelli, operatives of the CP Special Assignment Team (CP-SAT), led by ASP Julius Robinson, arrested eight suspected cultists linked to recent cult killings in the area. The suspects include Warri Ochuko, 40, and Lucky Okohwoake, 23, whose confessional statements led to the arrest of six others across Ughelli metropolis. In another operation in Sapele on January 26, CP-SAT operatives stormed a suspected criminal hideout at Irapa area, arresting three suspects identified as Kome Temienoro, 25; Ogaga Omogene, 17; and Biokoro Francis, 42.
