The Delta State Police Command has arrested two suspected gunrunners in the Okpanam area of Asaba. 


A statement by the command spokesman, Bright Edafe, revealed that the operatives of the CP Special Assignment Team recovered two English single-barrel guns and 110 live cartridges from the suspects.


Edafe said that the suspects, who were residents of Okpanam, were arrested during a sting operation on Friday at about 4pm, while preliminary investigations suggest they were involved in gun running.


The Commissioner of Police, Olufemi Abaniwonda, has commended the public for providing useful information that led to the arrest, and urged residents to continue partnering with the police to ensure a safer Delta State.
