The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Kano State Command, has arrested a 29-year-old man for allegedly being in possession of 7,000 capsules of Tramadol.
In a statement on Monday, the Command’s spokesperson, Sadiq Muhammad-Maigatari, said the suspect was apprehended on Saturday by operatives of the Kiru Area Command along the Zaria–Kano Road, at Kwanar Dangora. The drugs, weighing 4.1 kilograms, were reportedly transported from Lagos and concealed in a 20-litre oil jerrycan.
Muhammad-Maigatari described the seizure as a significant breakthrough in the agency’s campaign against drug abuse in the state. He added that the professionalism displayed by the operatives highlighted NDLEA’s “unwavering commitment to disrupting the supply chain of illicit substances and ensuring community safety.”
The state Commander, Abubakar Idris-Ahmad, commended the officers for their diligence and praised NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, retired Brig.-Gen. Mohamed Buba-Marwa, for his continued support.
He reaffirmed the command’s determination to rid Kano of illicit substances, while calling on the public to maintain their support and cooperation.
