Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have apprehended two more suspects in connection with the murder of 31-year-old Alex Adanike in Ughelli, Delta State.

According to Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, the operation is part of a broader effort to crack down on criminal networks across the state.
