Event Summary

The Nigeria — Delta State Police Command, a part of the Nigeria — Nigeria Police Force, conducted two significant intelligence-led operations on April 13, 2026. In the first operation, the Safer Highway Patrol intercepted a Sienna bus driven by Osuke Stephen along the Onicha-Ugbo/Ewohimi Road. Officers discovered 490 grams of cocaine and 4 grams of cannabis, known as 'loud', concealed inside electric energy bulbs, which were being transported to Nigeria — Abuja. In a separate development on the same day, the CP Special Assignment Team recovered a pump-action gun with three live cartridges abandoned at the Ekigbo area of Ughelli. This firearm is linked to the murder of Alex Adanike on January 15, 2026, for which three suspects have already been arrested and remanded. Another suspect, Eddy Onose, believed to be a member of the De Norsemen Kclub of Nigeria, is currently at large and allegedly abandoned the weapon when he realized he was being trailed. Commissioner of Police Yemi Oyeniyi reaffirmed the Command's commitment to dismantling criminal networks.
