Kaduna vigilance group seizes 15 bags of suspected cannabis
Operatives of Kaduna State Vigilante Service (KADVS), in Dutsen Lungu, Ikara Local Government Area (LGA), have confiscated 15 bags of suspected cannabis worth hundreds of thousands of naira.
Bala Galadima, Zonal Commander of KADVS, Zaria Zone, who displayed the drugs to journalists in Zaria, said the arrest followed information received by operatives during their routine patrol.
Mr Galadima stated that the suspected owner of the substance narrowly escaped arrest, but one motorcycle was also confiscated during the operation.
The commander added that the KADVS, under the free drugs community initiative, also arrested some suspected dealers of illicit drugs in the area, adding that the drugs would be forwarded to the relevant authorities.
Mr Galadima assured the public of KADVS’ commitment to rid the communities of hard drugs and illicit substances.
