The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Kano Strategic Command, has arrested 73 suspects and recovered various illicit drugs during a one-day intelligence-led operation across the state.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Sadiq Muhammad-Maigatari, on Thursday in Kano.
Mr Muhammad-Maigatari quoted the State Commander, Dahiru Yahaya-Lawal, as saying the arrests were made during a one-day operation conducted on June 10 under the ongoing “Operation Sharar Mafaka.”
Yahaya-Lawal said the operation was part of the Command’s sustained efforts to identify, dislodge, and dismantle notorious drug joints across the state.
“Operatives raided the notorious Filin Mahaha drug den, the Sani Abacha Youth Centre, and locations in the Sheka area,” he said.
According to him, the operation followed credible intelligence on criminal activities and drug abuse patterns in the affected areas.
He reiterated the agency’s commitment to combating drug trafficking and abuse in the state.
“We will continue to dislodge and occupy these drug joints in line with the directive of our Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Brig.-Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), until there is no safe place left for illicit drug activities.
“This operation demonstrates our commitment to safeguarding communities and disrupting the networks that fuel substance abuse and crime,” Yahaya-Lawal said.
He called on members of the public to continue providing timely and actionable information to support the agency’s ongoing crackdown on illicit drug activities across the state.
