According to a statement issued on Saturday by the committee’s Public Relations Officer, Comrade Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, the operation, conducted between March 13 and 14, focused on criminal hideouts in Yakasai, Kofar Mata, Zango, Zage, Zanzado, Rimi Market, Shahuchi Park, Kano Line, Sharada, Ja’in, Dan Agundi, and neighboring areas.

Security operatives seized three parcels and 50 wraps of dried leaves suspected to be cannabis sativa, alongside bottles of codeine syrup, rubber solution, a gallon of “suck and die,” and 105 suspected exol tablets. Weapons, including cutlasses, scissors, clubs, and suspected charms, were also recovered.

He added that a major breakthrough occurred in Zanzado, where security forces raided a known drug joint and recovered a large quantity of cannabis sativa. A delivery vehicle and five cattle, suspected to belong to a notorious drug dealer, were also seized.

“All suspects will be charged to court upon the completion of the investigation,” Waiya assured, reiterating the committee’s commitment to tackling crime and drug abuse in the state.
