The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested a suspected drug dealer, Ogbu Simon, in Ningi Local Government Area of Bauchi State and recovered a large quantity of narcotics estimated at over \u20a612 million.

It was gathered that the arrest followed intelligence from a concerned citizen about suspicious activity at a shop owned by Simon, who allegedly supplies drugs from Onitsha, Anambra State, to Ningi and neighboring areas.

A statement by the Spokesman of the Bauchi Police Command, CSP Mohammed Wakil, detailed that during a raid on November 26, detectives led by the Divisional Police Officer of Ningi, CSP Surajo Ibrahim Birnin Kudu, recovered 17,500 sachets of Tramadol and 487 packs of Diazepam (D5), commonly called \u201cYellow Voice.\u201d


The Operation Restore Peace (ORP) team, led by CSP Abdulrazak Fada, later apprehended the suspect, who confessed to supplying drugs to multiple markets within and outside Ningi.

The seized narcotics, valued at approximately \u20a612.2 million, along with the suspect, will be handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Bauchi for further investigation and prosecution.

Commissioner of Police, CP Sani Omolori Aliyu, reiterated his commitment to fighting drug crimes, urging the public to cooperate with law enforcement to curb criminal activities.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
