Operatives of Dragon 14, Delta State Police Command, have apprehended a suspected gunrunner in possession of three AK-47 rifles, 2,080 rounds of 7.62mm AK-47 ammunition, and 1,040 rounds of 51mm ammunition packed in four boxes. The suspect, 55-year-old Peter James from Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, was arrested on March 3, 2025, at around 1200hrs during a stop-and-search operation along the Warri-Benin Road near Western Delta University, Oghara. According to a statement issued on Monday by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, the operatives intercepted a blue Toyota Camry with registration number PHC 257 NT, driven by the suspect. “The driver was asked to open the trunk of the vehicle, during which it was observed that the trunk of the said Camry, popularly known as ‘Big Daddy’, was unusually small. This aroused the suspicion of the men who were convinced that the vehicle had been modified for malicious purposes. “The operatives then proceeded and removed the seat of the vehicle, only to discover the exhibits. “The exhibits have since been recovered and the suspect is in custody just as an investigation is ongoing”.
