Delta police nab two suspected phone thieves

Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have arrested two Keke robbery suspects notorious for dispossessing their victims of their phones.
The command’s public relations officer, Bright Edafe, disclosed this on his official X handle on Sunday.
According to the command’s spokesperson, over fifteen victims have come to identify the suspects after encounters with them, while others are still coming to do the same.
He wrote, “You see these two suspects, Collins Akpinoba and David Paulson, that’s if it’s even their real name, they are deadly Keke robbers. These guys can remove your phones even if you hide them inside your undies. Since their arrest, over fifteen victims have come to identify them, and more are still coming.”
Mr Edafe urged residents who had fallen victim to the suspects’ nefarious activities and can recognise them to “please go to ‘A’ division, Asaba. Who knows, your phone might be recovered.”
