The Delta State Police Command has arrested 22 suspected drug dealers and rescued two minors during an intelligence led raid on illicit drug dens in Ozoro and Abraka.
The operation, carried out on July 21, targeted identified drug hotspots at Ofagbe Community in Ozoro, Ekrejeta and the NUT Area in Abraka following credible intelligence.
Police say 22 suspects, comprising 19 males and three females, were arrested for alleged offences relating to the sale, possession and distribution of illicit drugs.
During the operation, officers also rescued two minors who were found in a suspected drug den allegedly operated by their father. The children have been taken into protective custody and will be handed over to the Delta State Ministry of Women Affairs while investigations continue.
Commissioner of Police Yemi Oyeniyi described the presence of minors in an environment linked to illicit drug activities as deeply disturbing and reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to dismantling drug networks and protecting vulnerable persons.
The Police Commissioner also appealed to parents, guardians and community leaders to remain vigilant and provide credible information to support efforts to rid Delta State of illicit drug activities and other forms of crime.
