Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nasarawa State Police Command has apprehended a suspected drug trafficker, recovering a vehicle and 15 bags of dry leaves believed to be Indian hemp.<\/p>\n

The arrest, according to a statement released on Sunday by DSP. Ramhan Nansel, the Command\u2019s spokesperson, took place on August 31, 2024, at approximately 1:00 pm.<\/p>\n

Nansel stated that the suspect, identified as Saturday Gabriel, a 43-year-old male from Edo State, was arrested while one accomplice managed to escape.<\/p>\n

He said the police recovered a Toyota Camry with the registration number Lagos KSF 843 FN, which was being used for the illegal operation.<\/p>\n

The Police PRO further added that the arrest was made following a tip-off that a Toyota Camry with two occupants was heading toward the Nasarawa Toto axis. The vehicle was suspected of being involved in criminal activities.<\/p>\n

In response, police personnel from the Toto Division were deployed strategically to intercept the suspects.<\/p>\n

The vehicle was successfully intercepted in the Gadabuke area of Toto Local Government Area, leading to Gabriel\u2019s arrest and the recovery of the suspected contraband.<\/p>\n

Nansel stated that the Nasarawa State Commissioner of Police, Umar Shehu Nadada, has ordered the case to be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Lafia.<\/p>\n

He said the case will then be handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for further investigation and prosecution.<\/p>\n
