The Nigerian police have arrested 35-year-old Ogaga Dickson, identified as a notorious armed robber and member of a deadly syndicate in Delta State.
Ogaga has been arrested for killing CSP Hassan Jega, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Agbarho Division, during a gun battle on October 14, 2024.
The incident occurred when CSP Jega led his team in an operation against the syndicate.
Parading the suspect at the Police Headquarters on Monday, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, disclosed that four gang members were neutralised during the operation.
Adejobi explained that police operatives neutralised four gang members in an earlier operation and recovered items, including an AK-47 rifle, an English pistol, a locally made pistol, various calibres of ammunition, and six exotic vehicles.
He said, “On the 1st of November 2024, operatives of the FID-IRT arrested one Ogaga Dickson ‘m’ 35 years, a member of a notorious armed robbery syndicate responsible for the death of CSP Hassan Jega, the DPO Agbarho Division, Delta State, who was killed on the 14th of October 2024, during a fierce gun battle between a team of police officers led by the deceased DPO and the assailants, after the team of police men had foiled one of their robbery operations.”
Adejobi noted that the operatives had earlier stormed the gang’s den and engaged them in a fierce gun duel, leading to the neutralisation of four of the gang members.
“Upon Ogaga’s arrest, the police recovered one AK-47 rifle, one English pistol, one locally made pistol, ammunition of various calibres and six exotic vehicles,” he said.
