Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have arrested two suspected robbers and recovered two stolen motorcycles in the state.
The command’s spokesperson, Bright Edafe, said the suspects, identified as Peter Emobaye, 22, and James Emmanuel, 29, were arrested on October 28, 2026, by operatives of the Commissioner’s Special Assignment Team (CP-SAT).
He said the operatives, acting on complaints of motorcycle snatching by armed men along Stadium Road, Saniko and adjoining areas of Ughelli, raided a suspected criminal hideout in the Ighrovie area of the town, where the suspects were arrested.
The operation led to the recovery of a stolen Qlink motorcycle.
Edafe added that during preliminary interrogation, the suspects led the operatives to the residence of their alleged gang leader, identified as Sunny, in Ufuoma Town, where another stolen motorcycle was recovered.
A fabricated Beretta pistol, a locally made shotgun and two live cartridges were also recovered during the operation.
He said the suspects were in custody, while efforts were ongoing to apprehend the fleeing gang leader and other members of the syndicate.
