The Delta State Police Command has arrested a suspected armed robber, Stanley Chibuike, after a locally-made pistol was discovered hidden inside a loaf of bread in his possession.

The arrest was made during a routine stop-and-search operation at a checkpoint along the Warri–Sapele Road on Friday.

“The suspect attempted to conceal the weapon inside a sliced loaf of bread, but our officers noticed irregularities during inspection,” said DSP Bright Edafe, Police Public Relations Officer.

Key Details:

• The pistol was wrapped in nylon and placed in the middle of the bread to avoid detection.
• Chibuike reportedly confessed he was on his way to join a robbery gang for a planned operation.
• Further investigation is ongoing to apprehend his accomplices.

Why It Matters:

• The incident underscores the evolving tactics used by criminals to evade security checks.
• It also highlights the vigilance of police personnel in intercepting weapons before crimes are committed.
