The Delta State Police Command on the 3rd of March 2025, at about 12:pm operatives of the command attached to Dragon 14 while on stop and search duty along Warri/Benin road by Western Delta University Oghara intercepted a blue colour Toyota Camry with Reg No PHC-257-NT driven by one, Peter James, 55, indigene of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
The driver was asked to open the trunk of the vehicle, during which it was observed that the trunk of the said Camry, popularly known as “big daddy,” was unusually small.
This aroused the suspicion of the policemen that the vehicle had been modified for malicious purposes.
The Policemen then proceeded and removed the seat of the vehicle, only to discover three AK-47 rifles, 2,080 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, 1,040 rounds of 51mm LAR ammunition, totalling 3120 rounds of ammunition loaded in six boxes.
The exhibit has been recovered, and the investigation is ongoing.
