Delta State Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, has ordered an all-out crackdown on criminal networks after the DSS intercepted a cache of sophisticated weapons in Asaba.
During his visit to the DSS Command, the governor commended the agency for its intelligence and coordination, describing the operation as a “major breakthrough” in the fight against insecurity. He reaffirmed that his administration would tolerate no lawlessness, especially in Warri, warning those planning violence to desist.
“Bringing in heavy arms of this nature is a direct threat to our peace and will not be tolerated,” he stated, urging residents to support security agencies.
The governor also directed the immediate arrest of those behind the killing of Jerry Aduara, former Odion Urhobo Youth Council chairman, vowing that no one involved would escape justice.
According to Mr. Anthony Ifemeje, Deputy Director of Operations, DSS Delta Command, the operation on October 12, 2025, led to the arrest of Stephen Sabo Atoshi, a 40-year-old teacher from Taraba State, and an accomplice. The suspects confessed to eight years in arms trafficking from Libya through Chad and Yobe into Nigeria.
Recovered items included seven GPMGs, AK-47 rifles, hand grenades, and 497 cartons of fake drugs, some hidden in bags of beans bound for Oko Market, Asaba.
The DSS assured continued vigilance to dismantle criminal and arms smuggling networks threatening Delta’s peace.
