The Nigeria Police Force has arrested Ogaga Dickson, a 35-year-old member of a notorious armed robbery syndicate responsible for the death of CSP Hassan Jega, the DPO of Agbarho Division in Delta State. The DPO was killed on October 14, 2024, during a fierce gun battle while foiling a robbery operation.
The police’s Intelligence Response Team (IRT) tracked down the gang and engaged them in a gun battle, resulting in the neutralization of four gang members. Upon Dickson’s arrest, authorities recovered an AK-47 rifle, an English pistol, a locally made pistol, various ammunition, and six exotic vehicles.
Additionally, on December 2, 2024, the police apprehended a child-trafficking syndicate led by Pastor Dayo Bernard of End Time Army Ministry in Plateau State. The operation led to the rescue of five abducted children and the arrest of several syndicate members. The principal suspect confessed to abducting and selling 13 children, all of whom were reunited with their families.
In line with the Inspector General of Police’s directive to reduce illicit arms circulation, the IRT also recovered 14 AK-47 rifles. These operations reflect the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to combating crime and enhancing national security through intelligence-driven strategies.
