NDLEA KANO Launches Major Crackdown on Drug Joints in Kano, Arrests 23 Suspects
Building on the recent successful operation aimed at dismantling the drug joints in the state, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Kano Strategic Command has launched another major crackdown on illicit drug activities in Badawa, Kofar Mata, Tashar Kasuwar Rimi, Gwangwazo, and Kantin Kwari areas of Kano. The operation resulted in the arrest of 23 suspects and the recovery of various illicit substances, including codeine, pregabalin, and cannabis sativa.
Under the leadership of CN AI Ahmad, the NDLEA is pledging an intensified effort to dismantle drug joints and combat the rampant drug abuse that has plagued these neighborhoods. The targeted areas have been identified as hotspots for drug abuse, and the NDLEA is determined to restore peace and order. The operation underscores the agency’s commitment to safeguarding the health and safety of the community by addressing the growing menace of drug-related activities, ensuring our streets are safe, and our youth are protected from substance abuse dangers.
We urge the public to support these efforts by remaining vigilant and reporting any suspicious activities, as collective action is essential in the fight against drug abuse and in creating a safer environment for all.
