The Nigeria Police Force has announced the arrest of Ogaga Dickson, a 35-year-old member of an armed robbery gang linked to the killing of CSP Hassan Jega, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Agbarho Division, Delta State. Jega was fatally shot on October 14, 2024, during a gun battle while foiling a robbery operation.
Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, revealed that police operatives from the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) engaged the gang in a gunfight, neutralizing four members. Upon Dickson’s arrest, police recovered an AK-47 rifle, an English pistol, a locally made pistol, various ammunition, and six luxury vehicles.
In a separate operation, police dismantled a child-trafficking syndicate in Jos, Plateau State, led by Pastor Dayo Bernard of End Time Army Ministry. Five abducted children, aged 2 to 4, were rescued, and other syndicate members, including Rita Agboeze, Victoria Ugwu, Nanman Puntel, and Peter Ukwuani, were apprehended. Investigations revealed that Bernard had abducted and sold 13 children, all of whom have since been reunited with their families.
The Police also reported the recovery of 14 AK-47 rifles in an ongoing effort to rid the country of illegal arms, in line with the Inspector-General of Police’s directive. These operations underscore the Police Force’s commitment to combating crime and ensuring the safety of all Nigerians.
