On 15 October 2026, the [Delta State Police Command](https://deltapolice.gov.ng) disclosed that it had detained 95 individuals suspected of belonging to the [Supreme Vikings Confraternity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Vikings_Confraternity) following a series of coordinated raids across four local government areas. The operation resulted in the seizure of firearms, ammunition and cult‑related items, and the suspects were placed in police custody.
**What locations were targeted?**
The police acted on credible intelligence that members of the group were gathering for a cult anniversary celebration at a hotel on Abraka Road, Asaba. A raid on that venue yielded 67 arrests – 55 men and 12 women – and the recovery of two pump‑action rifles, a locally fabricated cut‑to‑size gun, ten live cartridges, five spent cartridges, eleven caps bearing suspected cult symbols and two branded jackets.
**Were there additional arrests?**
A second sweep in Agbor, Ika South LGA, produced 15 more suspects (14 males, one female). Subsequent operations apprehended two individuals in Jeremy community, Ughelli South LGA, and ten more in Jeddo community, Okpe LGA, bringing the total to 95 detainees.
**What evidence was seized in the later raids?**
Authorities recovered two locally made pistols, two live cartridges, two spent cartridges, two caps with suspected insignia and assorted charms believed to be linked to the cult.
Spokesperson Bright Edafe confirmed that all arrested persons and the seized items remain under police custody while investigations continue.
