Delta State Command has arrested 40 drug dealers at the popular Swees
Spirit Hotel Junction in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
ATN gathered that the police, in collaboration with other security
stakeholders, conducted a raid operation on Tuesday night.
It was learned that the operation was initiated following credible intelligence
regarding a criminal hideout where illicit drug activities were rampant,
causing significant distress and harm to society.
The source said the operation would serve as a clear message to all that
the security apparatus is committed to eradicating the menace of hard drug
peddling and other criminal activities in the state. He said the raid would be
a strong deterrent to those who believe that engaging in such illegal
activities is business as usual. He added that the government would
continue to take decisive action to ensure the safety and well-being of all
Deltans.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Delta State
Command, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed the arrest on Wednesday.
