The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Kano Strategic Command has arrested 19 suspects and dismantled several drug joints in Gezawa as part of efforts to curb illicit drug activities during and after Ramadan.
The operation, dubbed “Operation Ramadan Mubarak”, was conducted following credible intelligence from a concerned community member. Various illicit substances, including cannabis sativa, diazepam, and pregabalin tablets, were recovered during the operation.
State Commander Dahiru Yahaya-Lawal reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to safeguarding public health and preserving the sanctity of Ramadan. “Our objective is to ensure safe streets and enable residents to observe a peaceful and fulfilling Ramadan,” he said.
The NDLEA commends the public for providing useful intelligence and urges continued cooperation to combat drug abuse and trafficking.
