Agbor Police Arrest Trio for Attempting to Sell Stolen Vehicle

On September 19, 2026, operatives of the Agbor Police Division arrested three suspects: Agbaja Promise, 20; Emmanuel Ovieh, 25; and Odiri Dama, 25, while they were allegedly trying to sell a stolen Hijet mini bus with registration number BEN-485-XH for ₦300,000 without the necessary documents. The command’s spokesperson, Bright Edafe, confirmed the arrests were made based on credible intelligence, and the stolen vehicle was recovered.

The rightful owner of the vehicle was subsequently identified and contacted. Additionally, operatives from the Ekpan Division arrested a 23-year-old suspect, Meshach Onovoisa, following a distress call regarding threats made to individuals around the Scrap Yard axis of Effurun/Sapele Road.

A locally made single-barrelled gun was recovered from him, and during interrogation, he reportedly admitted to being an armed robber. Investigations are ongoing to apprehend other gang members, and the arrested suspects will be charged to court once the investigation is complete.
