By Okosun Dennis
The nuisance value of some cult members belonging to Vikings cult confraternity has been tamed as they desperately wanted to Initiate new members into the notorious nocturnal group.
It was learnt that the Operation Delta Hawk team had on September 19, 2021, about 1030hrs at Agbor received credible information that cult activities were out to initiate new members into Vikings cult confraternity.
They immediately swung into action and stormed the Aliokpo power line off Old Warri Road, Agbor where the initiation was to take place.
The team’s promptness led to two male suspects being arrested. They were identified as Blessing Rex, 30 years old male of No. 50 Old Lagos/ Asaba road and Lucky Wisdom, 18 years of No.4 Ijeh street Agbor while others escaped.
Exhibits recovered at the scene included 11 motorcycles and one Vikings confraternity flag.
The spokesperson, Delta State Police Command, DSP Edafe Bright disclosed that on September 22 2021 about 1035hrs, men of the Delta State Police Command Rapid Response Squad while on stop and search duty along Benin/Asaba express road, Umunede, flagged down a Lexus 350 Jeep with Reg. No. WWR 343 MD, white in colour with three occupants.
The suspects on noticing the operatives stopped abruptly and disembarked from the vehicle before shooting sporadically and ran into the bush.
The operatives returned fire and went after them. During the gun duel, one of the hoodlums was fatally wounded while the remaining two escaped with bullets injuries.
Upon search, a locally made pistol loaded with a live cartridge and two expended cartridges were recovered from the injured suspect.
The injured suspect was immediately rushed to the hospital where he gave up the ghost while receiving treatment.
The Lexus 350 Jeep was recovered and intelligence later revealed that the vehicle was snatched from the owner at gunpoint around Warri on Saturday, September 18, 2021.
In another development, operatives of Delta Hawk Patrol teams stationed at Agbor received credible information that one Daniel Banjo, 24, of No. 3 Baptist Mission Street Agbor was sighted in possession of a gun.
They promptly swung into action and proceeded to the area where they arrested the said suspect. Upon search, one locally-made double barrel pistol with two live cartridges were recovered from him. The investigations are still ongoing.
