The Delta State Police Command has intercepted a Toyota Sienna reportedly carrying military camouflage uniforms, boots, hats and cartons of suspected illicit drugs.
The vehicle was intercepted on Friday, September 18, 2026, following credible intelligence received by operatives of the Command’s Anti-Cult Unit, Asaba.
According to the police, the operatives mounted surveillance along the route after receiving information that a Sienna vehicle conveying suspected illicit drugs and military items was travelling from Onitsha towards Ondo State.
The vehicle, a green Toyota Sienna with registration number KP 527 AAA, was reportedly driven by 45-year-old Isaac Urji from Abia State.
A search of the vehicle led to the recovery of suspected Tramadol and other suspected illicit drugs, alongside military camouflage uniforms, boots and hats. The driver was arrested, while investigations are ongoing to determine the source and intended destination of the items and identify others allegedly connected to the consignment.
