Read Time:1 Minute, 36 Second
Between November 1 and November 14, 82 people were taken into custody by the Kano State police command in relation to a variety of crimes that were committed across the state.
Among the suspects were drug traffickers, thugs, armed robbers, kidnappers, and phone snatchers.
Bompai, Kano, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abdullahi Kiyawa, told reporters at the command’s headquarters that the arrests were the consequence of a crime-busting plan the command had implemented.
“The implementation of these strategies has yielded positive results as they led to the crackdown on criminal networks, such as curtailing remnants of thuggery (Daba) activities within Kano Metropolis,
“Other are dismantling of armed robbery syndicates along Jigawa-Kano and Bauchi-Kano borders and foiling kidnapping incidents along Kaduna-Kano and Katsina-Kano borders.
“These operations conducted resulted in the arrest of a total of 82 suspects and the recovery of firearms, dangerous weapons, illicit drugs, and stolen properties.
”Items recovered from the criminals included one AK-47 rifle and three locally made guns, 13 cutlasses, and 16 knives.
”Others are: three motorcycles, one tricycle, 50 sachets of diazepam tablets, 42 sachets of tramadol tablets, 24 parcels, 175 wraps of dried leaves suspected to be hemp, and 10 mobile phones,’’ he said.
Speaking on behalf of State Commissioner of Police Salman Dogo, Kiyawa said the accomplishments showed the command’s dedication to upholding law and order.
He declared that in order to raise public awareness of security issues, the command will keep bolstering its diverse tactics, which center on community policing and strategic communication.
Other measures included targeted clearance operations and intelligence-led policing, which had successfully broken up criminal networks that were mostly active in the state’s border local government regions.
He praised Governor Abba Yusuf for giving the command 78 patrol cars, which would greatly increase its operational capability and response time in order to provide the state’s citizens with better service.
