……Equipment worth N3 billion stolen
so far
The Delta State Police
Command has arrested three persons suspected to be Naval Officers who have been
engaged in the unauthorized and illegal sale of the properties belonging to
Niger Delta Activist, Chief Government Ekpemupolo alias Tompolo which were seized
by the federal government about two years ago.
The property which is located along Chevron Clinic Road, Opposite Delta
Broadcasting Service (DBS) in Warri metropolis have over the past months been
burgled by a syndicate of Naval Officers who auction out the properties to
criminal elements and unsuspecting members of the public.
Luck however
ran out of the syndicate when Policemen attached to the A Division of the
Nigerian Police Force in Warri swooped in on the suspects following a tip-off
from the residents of the area who have been observing the suspicious
activities around the premises.
A truckload of electricity
transformers stolen from the property and about to be sold-off was found with
the syndicate.
It was
gathered that as at the last count, the Suspects have sold equipment worth over
N3 Billion, until they met their Waterloo in Warri, Delta State on Sunday
22-07-18.
As of the time of this
report, journalists investigations revealed that
the alleged three naval officers are cooling off their heels at the police
station, Warri.
Efforts to reach out to the Delta State
Police Public Relations Officer as to when the suspects will be charged to
court proved abortive.
