Delta Police Arrest Six Over Alleged Drug Dealing in Agbor

The Delta State Police Command has arrested six suspects, including a 15-year-old girl, for allegedly dealing in illicit drugs in Agbor, Delta State.

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists in Warri on Thursday, saying the suspects included five adults and a juvenile.

Operatives of the Department of Operations arrested the suspects during a routine patrol along Alegwe Street, off Owa Road, Agbor, after acting on credible intelligence about a store suspected to be used for the sale of illicit drugs.

During the operation, the police searched a vehicle linked to the suspects and recovered quantities of Tramadol, Rohypnol and other suspected illicit substances.

The police said the suspects and exhibits are in custody while investigation continues into the alleged drug operation.

The Commissioner of Police, Samuel Erale, said the command would continue to dismantle drug distribution networks across Delta State and intensify intelligence gathering and enforcement against drug dealers.
