Operatives of the Nigeria Drugs and Law Enforcement Agency
(NDLEA) yesterday intercepted a suspected police van loaded
with over 700 tonnes of India hemp worth millions of naira in
Kano.
The operatives also tracked and detained a long truck
conveying sacks of dry fish stocked with cannabis.Conducting
journalists round the confiscated illicit drugs yesterday at the
state command of the agency, commander of the NDLEA in
Kano, Hamza Umar, revealed that two suspects, including the
driver were arrested in police uniforms.
According to Hamza, the suspects were caught in a brand new
Toyota Hilux masked with security siren and a private plate
number, Pilot 1. Hamza hinted that the vehicle, which
originated from Esuba, Edo State, was heading to Gezuwa in
Yobe State, but was arrested following an intelligence report.
Atfer thorough investigation, the suspects according to NDLEA
boss were discovered to have impersonated the police force to
scale through security search. “Our men intercepted the
vehicle, which was typical of security utility vehicles. The two
suspects arrested were found in police uniforms but after
interrogation, they confessed the uniforms were gotten to
disguise as policemen to evade search at police checkpoint.
“I am sure if anybody sees them in this vehicle and the
security uniform, nobody will dare to stop them. But from
intelligence gathering, we were able to detect and arrest
them. Investigation is still ongoing to unravel the sponsors of
the drug suspects,” Hamza explained.
Although journalists were barred from unmasking the
identities of the suspects, one of the suspects confessed that
he got the police uniform from a serving police officer in Port
Harcourt. “We use to carry the Indian helm once every month
from Edo to Yobe. The last trip I went, they paid me N150,000
and this tour I was promised to paid N200,000,” he confessed.
The NDLEA boss further told newsmen that the truck carrying
Ebonyi State government vehicle document with plate
number NKE41LG, was loaded with 64kg of cannabis stocked
into bags of dry fish.
He explained that the truck was coming from Ebonyi and was
heading to Libiya, adding that four suspects, including the
principal suspect, had been arrested.He noted the command

cannabis sativa, 3,307.903kg psychotropic substance and 20
