Police arrest 22 suspected drug dealers in Delta, rescue two minors

Nigerian police conducted a raid in Delta State, arresting 22 individuals suspected of drug trafficking and rescuing two minors who were held in a suspected drug den. The operation, which took place on July 21, 2026, targeted illicit drug dens and criminal hideouts in Ozoro and Abraka communities. The arrests included 19 males and three females, all accused of selling, possessing, and distributing illegal drugs. The rescued minors were placed under protective custody and will be transferred to the Delta State Ministry of Women Affairs for care. The police emphasized their continued efforts to combat drug-related crimes and protect vulnerable populations. Similar operations occurred in Yobe State earlier in July, where 14 suspects were arrested and over 300 sachets of illicit drugs were seized.
