Nigerian Troops Neutralize Cultist Leader, Arrest Member in Delta State Raid

Troops from the 63 Brigade of the Nigerian Army, operating under Operation Delta Safe, have neutralized a cultist group leader in Delta State and arrested another member, Stephen Fragene Pessu. The group was involved in recent clashes and kidnappings in the Warri South local government area.

The arrested suspect provided valuable information about the gang's activities, leading to further investigations. The operation resulted in the recovery of lethal weapons used by the gang.

Efforts are ongoing to apprehend other members and recover additional weapons in the area, as the military intensifies its operations against criminal elements in the region.
