NDLEA ARRESTS 18 ALLEGED DRUG TRAFFICKERS IN KANO
Officials from the Kano State Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have apprehended 18 individuals suspected of drug trafficking and confiscated various amounts of illegal substances.
The command’s spokesperson, Sadiq Muhammad-Maigatari, revealed this in a statement on Friday.
According to Muhammad-Maigatari, the state NDLEA Commander, Abubakar Idris-Ahmad, stated that the arrests were carried out during a raid aimed at combating drug-related offenses in the state.
“On January 30, the agency dislodged several notorious drug hotspots located in Fagge area, Kwarin Kaya, Kofar Wambai, and Kofar Mata.
“The raid at Kwarin Kaya was particularly intense as some suspects attempted to intimidate the officers from a distance.
“Despite the intimidation, the NDLEA remained resolute in its mission, ensuring the operation proceeded without any incident,” he said.
According to him, the command successfully recovered significant quantities of illicit substances, including cannabis sativa and rubber solution.
