The Delta State Police Command has recorded major breakthroughs in its sustained campaign against cultism, armed crime, and drug trafficking, following a successful intelligence-led raid in Abraka and the arraignment of eighteen suspects for illicit drug activities.
In a statement issued on Saturday, December 6, 2025, by the Command’s Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, operatives of the CP-Special Assignment Team (CP-SAT), led by ASP Julius Robinson, carried out a coordinated operation at about 7:30 a.m. on Friday in Umeghe Community, Abraka, acting on credible intelligence.
The raid led to the arrest of a 67-year-old suspect, Isiakpere Fridaymm, at his residence, where police recovered two pump-action guns and thirty-nine live cartridges.
