Sunday Babaji, who disclosed this while parading the suspects at the command’s headquarte­rs on Wednesday, gave the names of the suspects as

Suleiman Abdulrahma­n Bello, Suleiman Shamsudeen, Emeka Offor, Tanko Abdullahi and Luka Ishaku.

He said the suspects were arrested in a chain of tactical sweep operations by the command’s anti-narcotics unit at different black spots within the territory.

He said the suspects were in possession of large quantities of dry leaves suspected to be cannabis sativa of different variants like Arizona, crack cocaine and bottles of codeine syrup.

He said investigat­ion had been intensifie­d to unravel other groundbrea­king revelation­s that could lead to more arrests, even as he noted that the suspects would be handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcemen­t Agency (NDLEA).

The police commission­er, while frowning at the rate of moral decadence and crime, called on the residents to report any suspicious person to the police through its emergency lines: 0803200391­3, 0806158193­8, 0705733765­3 and 0802894088­3.
