The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Kano Strategic Command, says it has arrested a 27-year-old suspect, Umar Adamu-Umar, in possession of 9 kilograms of Cannabis Sativa (Colorado) worth over N10 million.
This is contained in a statement issued on Saturday in Kano by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Mr Sadiq Muhammad-Maigatari.
He said that the suspect, a resident of Fagge Local Government Area of Kano State, was arrested on August 6, along the Zaria–Kano Road by the operatives of the NDLEA attached to the Kiru Area Command of Kano.
“The suspect confessed to being involved in the illegal drug trade and had been under surveillance by the command for some time,” Muhammad-Maigatari said
“Removing this quantity from circulation also helps protect vulnerable communities from the social and economic harms associated with the trade in narcotics,” he added.
