A young lady, Ms Blessing Ibuku, was among the over 30 suspects paraded by the Delta State Police Command for being involved in crimes such as robbery, kidnapping, cultism, and murder, among others, while also recovering 150 arms, including 32 AK-47 rifles.

The state Commissioner of Police, Abaniwonda Olufemi, while briefing journalists at the command’s headquarters in Asaba, said Ibuku was arrested for killing her 10-month-old baby, Prevail Jonathan, who she threw into a community river because she was mocked for being fatherless.

Olufemi noted that the arrests and recoveries were part of the command’s efforts to combat crime since he assumed office as the 22nd Commissioner of Police in February 2024.
