The dictum that says: “the evil that men do live with them” played out recently at Ijomi village in Oghara, Delta State as one Ugbaudu Williams, a male, 31 years old a.k.a Beleke was arrested by the Delta State Police Command.

Ugbaudu was said to have been arrested on May 5, 2021, at about 0405hrs, after a distressed call was received from an indigene of Ijomi village that in his compound, his dogs were barking signifying the presence of danger within the compound.
He said when he came out to check what was happening, he saw two armed boys in the compound.
This led to the Divisional Police Officer deploying a patrol team to the scene. The suspects on sighting the police took to their heels and jumped into the nearby bush.
When the bush was later combed by a combined team of police and vigilante teams, Ugbaudu Williams was found bleeding and subsequently arrested.
A spokesperson for the Delta State Police Command, DSP Bright Edafe said when he was taken to his house for a search, another locally made barrel gun was recovered with two live cartridges, one expanded cartridge was also recovered.

The DPO Orerokpe Division later deployed the detective to the clinic and after viewing the corpse, there were signs of violence on the body of the deceased.

Meanwhile, the police have arrested the two suspects Efe Lucky ‘m’ and Ramson Akpojibu ‘m’, and the premises of the suspects were searched, blood-stained cutlass, hammer, and blood-soaked towel were recovered.
