The Delta State Police Command has arrested two suspected cultists and recovered an AK-47 rifle with a double magazine during a coordinated operation in Oghara.
The police said the latest operation, carried out by the CP-Special Assignment Team (CP-SAT), builds on an earlier operation on November 24.
In the earlier raid, suspects who admitted their involvement in cultism were arrested and a pump-action gun was recovered.
According to the command, the CP-SAT conducted follow-up raids in different parts of Oghara on November 25.
This led to the arrest of two additional suspects: Justice Ikutu, 38 and Peter Okomeje, 55.
The police said that the suspects were picked up at separate hotspots in the community.
A subsequent search of the residence of another suspect, Peter Kome, led to the recovery of an AK-47 rifle loaded with a double magazine.
Operatives also recovered other incriminating exhibits linked to ongoing investigations into cult activities and armed robbery.
The police noted that all suspects are currently in police custody.
