The Delta State Police Command has arraigned Akpevwe the younger brother of Chief Peter Okagbare Uviejitobor, the lawmaker representing Udu Constituency.
The suspect was arraigned for attempting to break into the Asaba branch of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), with firearms.
He was about carting away sensitive electoral materials belonging to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) when he was arrested.
The suspect was arraigned before a Chief Magistrate Court in Asaba, the Delta State capital, alongside two other suspects identified as Alfred Joseph and David Ukiri, all from Udu Local Government Area of the state for the same offence.
The three suspects were apprehended with firearms last week by Police detectives at the Asaba branch of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), where INEC had kept sensitive electoral materials for onward distribution to the various LGAs in the state.
According to a report by Saharareporters, Akpevwe had allegedly made a confessional statement to the Police that his lawmaker brother gave him the gun and Sienna vehicle carrying the official number plate of the state House of Assembly with which he had gone to attack the apex bank branch in Asaba before he was caught.
