In an intensified crackdown on drug trafficking, operatives of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command have arrested 11 suspected drug dealers in a series of coordinated operations across known drug black spots within Nigeria’s capital city.
The raids, conducted by the Command’s Anti-Narcotics Unit, led to the recovery of 68 bags of substances believed to be cannabis.
The Command’s spokeswoman, SP Josephine Adeh, who confirmed this in a statement on Saturday, September 27, said that the arrests were part of ongoing efforts to disrupt criminal supply networks and reduce drug-fuelled crimes within the nation’s capital.
“These arrests mark a major step forward in dismantling criminal supply chains, curbing drug-induced crimes, and ensuring that harmful substances are kept away from our communities.
“The Command remains committed to intensifying its operations against drug-related offences while calling on residents to support ongoing efforts by providing timely and useful information via the commands emergency lines: 08061581938, 08032003913, CRU: 08107314192,” she stated.
