Suspected Peace Corps member arrested with pistol

A 33-year-old man, Seiyefa Okorie, suspected to be a member of the Peace Corps of Nigeria was arrested by the Bayelsa Police Command for alleged illegal possession of a pistol.

The Command’s spokesperson, DSP Asinim Butswat, made the confirmation to the News Agency of Nigeria in Yenegoa.

He said the arrest was made after a raid on the criminal hideout by a combined effort of operatives of the command and those of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.

“In a coordinated raid on criminal hideout at Amarata, Yenagoa, security operatives arrested one Seiyefa Okorie, male 33, a member of the proscribed Peace Corps of Nigeria, and recovered a locally made pistol from the suspect.

“The suspect was arrested fully dressed in Peace Corps T-shirt and was with the proscribed organization’s identity card.

“The suspect confessed that he peddles drugs and robs innocent persons in Yenagoa and environs. Investigation is ongoing,” he said.

But-swat further appealed to members of the public to continue to provide useful information to the police to ensure a safer Bayelsa.
