In a significant breakthrough, the Delta State Commissioner of Police Special Team, under the leadership of ASP Julius Robinson, apprehended a 52-year-old accountant of the Polytechnic, Oghara, Ethiope-West Local Government Area, identified as Chief Oviri Onorigho, at his residence on Friday morning around 11:30 AM.
Accompanied by members of the police force, the arrest was made swiftly, with the recovery of a Baretta pistol loaded with four rounds of live ammunition during a search of the suspect's residence. This development was confirmed by the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, in a statement released to the press in Warri.
"The suspect was immediately arrested," SP Edafe stated, highlighting the successful execution of a search warrant that led to the seizure of the illegal firearm.
Further investigation uncovered troubling details, as SP Edafe revealed, "Preliminary investigation revealed that he is suspected to be a member of Aiye confraternity."
The suspect, Chief Oviri Onorigho, reportedly admitted to purchasing the firearm for self-protection, claiming to have acquired it from an individual named Morrison, who is currently evading arrest. The transaction allegedly involved a sum of N250,000.
As the investigation progresses, Chief Oviri Onorigho remains in custody, facing charges related to the possession of an illegal firearm and suspected involvement in criminal activities.
