Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have arrested four suspects allegedly linked to the Beretta pistol recovered in a waybill transaction that culminated in the killing of 28-year-old Oghenemine Ogidi in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.
The suspects, identified as Emmanuel Chukwuemeka, Clifford Boleyelefa, Amadi Princewill and Amadi Felix Chibuike, were arrested in Bayelsa and Imo states following what police described as painstaking investigations and intelligence-led operations.
Recall that an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Nuhu Usman, allegedly shot Ogidi, who was already handcuffed after being arrested while attempting to collect a waybill package containing a pistol at a motor park in Effurun.
The spokesperson for the Delta State Police Command, SP Bright Edafe, said the suspects were linked to the unlawful possession and movement of the Beretta pistol recovered at the park.
According to him, the first suspect, Emmanuel Chukwuemeka, was arrested in Bayelsa State on May 4, 2026, alongside his friend, Clifford Boleyelefa, whose phone he allegedly used to communicate with the gun supplier.
Edafe said investigations revealed that Chukwuemeka purchased the firearm from one Amadi Princewill for N290,000 and later sold it to a suspect identified simply as Desmond, who is currently at large, for N380,000.
He explained that Princewill allegedly waybilled the pistol to Effurun and contacted the late Ogidi to collect the package and forward it to Sapele.
“Following Emmanuel’s confession, operatives tracked and arrested Amadi Princewill and Amadi Felix Chibuike in Imo State on May 15 and 16, 2026, respectively,” Edafe said.
He added that efforts were ongoing to arrest other members of the syndicate, including Desmond, who remains on the run.
The police spokesman further disclosed that the suspects are alleged members of the Black Axe confraternity and are currently in police custody.
He said they would be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
Edafe assured the public that the command remains committed to dismantling criminal networks involved in the illegal possession and trafficking of firearms across the state.
