A significant anti-narcotics operation across the Nigerian capital has resulted in the arrest of 116 individuals suspected of drug-related activities. The raids, which targeted known criminal hotspots throughout the city, were conducted by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command's Anti-Narcotics Unit over a three-week period.
Authorities confirmed that a wide array of illegal substances, narcotics, and dried leaves believed to be cannabis were seized during the operations. The sweep covered numerous districts, including Asokoro, Kubwa, Gwarimpa, Utako, Zuba, and several other areas.
Following a review process, 89 of those detained were released. The remaining 27 suspects have been formally charged and arraigned in court on offenses related to public nuisance and the possession of prohibited drugs.
The FCT Commissioner of Police, CP Ajao S. Adewale, commended the officers involved and reiterated the command's unwavering dedication to eradicating drug abuse and ensuring the safety of the capital. He further called on residents to cooperate with security agencies, abide by the law, and reject all forms of drug use and trafficking.
