The arrest of Abubakar on Friday, March 21, 2025, by operatives of CP Special Assignment Team (CP SAT) led by ASP Julius Robinson acting on gathered intelligence, further led to the arrest of two other suspects, Abubakar Mohammed popularly known as ‘chede’ and Mohammed Bellow at Otovwodo park in Ughelli North Local Government Area.

The spokesperson for the Delta State Police Command, SP Bright Edafe in a statement said the intervention by the CP SAT followed an intelligence-led investigation carried out on kidnapping and other related crimes in Ughelli North and its environs,

“Preliminary investigation revealed that suspects are allegedly responsible for a series of kidnappings and armed robberies around Iyamuge, Otu-Jeremi, Warri, Ughelli, and environs.

“Acting on the strength of their confessions, the suspects led the operatives to Iyamugo forest where their hidden weapons, which include one AK-47 rifle, one pump action gun, three locally made guns, two magazines, sixty rounds of AK-47 live ammunition and seventeen rounds of live cartridges were recovered.

“Upon exit from the forest, some hoodlums suspected to be their gang members engaged the Police in a gun duel, during which five of the hoodlums sustained gunshot injuries while others escaped.
