Two members of the gang were arrested by operatives from the Orerokpo Police station of the command.

Police received information on November 17 around 4pm about a break-in at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, a.k.a “Dominion Mega,” where several church musical instruments were carted away.

Following the report, the DPO Orerokpe Division, CSP Paul Obaware, swiftly mobilised and led his operatives to assess the scene of the crime. Afterward, an operation was planned and executed on the strength of the items that were carted away.

Two days later, one Patrick Emete posted one of the stolen items, amplifiers, for sale on his Facebook page.
