Security operatives in Delta State have uncovered a suspected criminal armoury and stopped what authorities described as a planned hostel robbery in Agbor. The breakthrough followed intelligence reports that led officers to a location believed to be used for storing weapons.

Police sources said a raid on the hideout led to the recovery of arms and other items suspected to belong to a gang operating in the area. The operation also disrupted an alleged plan to attack a student residence, which officials say could have endangered many lives.

According to the Nigeria Police Force, the swift intervention shows its commitment to proactive policing and crime prevention. Officers involved were praised for acting quickly on credible information and preventing a possible violent incident.

Residents have welcomed the development, describing it as reassuring amid security concerns. Authorities urged the public to continue sharing useful information, stressing that community cooperation remains vital in tackling crime.
