Operatives of the CP Special Assignment Team (CP-SAT) have recovered one pump-action gun with three rounds of live cartridges abandoned at Ekiugbo in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.
The recovery was made at about 20:45hrs yesterday during a coordinated operation based on credible intelligence.
The Delta State Police Command, led by CP Yemi Oyeniyi, confirmed the development in a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe.
According to the statement, “At about 2045hrs, operatives of the CP Special Assignment Team (CP-SAT), acting on credible intelligence, recovered one pump-action gun with three rounds of live cartridges abandoned in the Ekiugbo area of Ughelli.”
He added that the recovery is linked to an earlier case in which three suspects were arrested, charged to court, and remanded over the murder of one Alex Adanike, which occurred on 15 January 2026 in Ughelli.
SP Edafe further disclosed that intelligence revealed that one Eddy Onose, currently at large, had been in possession of the firearm before abandoning it upon noticing he was being trailed.
He also alleged that the suspect is connected to the Supreme Vikings Confraternity, also known as “ARO BAGGAR.”
Efforts, according to the police, are ongoing in collaboration with local vigilante groups to apprehend the fleeing suspect and recover additional evidence.
