Dreaded
militant leader, Oyawerikumo Peregbakumo alias Karowei has been arrested by
Nigerian soldiers after a state-wide manhunt.
Karowei was
arrested on Thursday morning by Soldiers attached to "Operation Delta
Safe". The criminal who hails from Ogbobagene, Burutu local government
area of Delta state surrendered himself to the military.
On
Wednesday, there was pandemonium in Bomadi, Ojobo and other communities in
Delta State as soldiers blocked waterways in search of the militant.
People fled
Ojobo community in hundreds after soldiers stormed the community in 10
gunboats. According to an eyewitness, Soldiers arrested Karowei's girlfriend.
The eyewitness said;
"The
manhunt is a fallout of reports of alleged activities of some suspected
militants who had some celebrations in the community on New Year day over the
killing of security agents."
Karowei is
alleged to have beheaded a Naval officer, who was at the local government for a
peace mission last December.
