Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested 88 individuals during coordinated night raids across various parts of Abuja, intelligence sources told security analyst Zagazola Makama.<\/p>\n

The operations, which took place late Friday night at about 11:40 p.m., were executed by operatives from several police divisions, including Lokogoma, Maitama, Wuse, Kubwa, Gwagwa, Dutse Alhaji, Karmo, Dawaki, Wuye, Utako, and Bwari.<\/p>\n

According to the Zagazola Makama, the raids focused on criminal black spots and uncompleted buildings suspected to be used as hideouts by criminal elements within these jurisdictions.<\/p>\n

During the sweep, operatives recovered quantities of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp, along with other illicit substances.<\/p>\n

All 88 suspects are being held in custody, undergoing screening and interrogation at their respective police divisions.<\/p>\n

Makama further gathered that suspects found to be involved in criminal activities will be charged in court, while those cleared during investigation will be released.<\/p>\n
