The Delta State Police Command, Asaba, in collaboration with other security stakeholders, has conducted a successful sting operation along Asaba/Okpanam Road, near the Midwifery Market, Asaba. This operation was initiated following credible intelligence regarding a criminal hideout where illicit drug activities were rampant, causing significant distress and harm to our society.
During the operation, which was executed with precision and diligence, 40 individuals were arrested for their involvement in the illegal drug trade. The suspects, in a desperate attempt to evade arrest, resorted to fleeing into the storm drainage along Okpanam Road. However, the swift and coordinated efforts of the Police ensured their apprehension.
This operation serves as a clear message to all that the Delta State Government, alongside its security apparatus, is committed to eradicating the menace of hard drug peddling and other criminal activities within the state. Let this be a strong deterrent to those who believe that engaging in such illegal activities is “business as usual.”* The Government will continue to take decisive actions to ensure the safety and well-being of all Deltans.
We urge all citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. Together, we can build a safer and more secure Delta State.
