The Police Command in Kano State has intercepted suspected explosive materials and illicit drugs in two separate operations across metropolitan local government areas.
This was contained in a statement issued by the command’s spokesperson, CSP Abdullahi Kiyawa, in Kano on Friday.
Kiyawa explained that officers from the Rijiyar Lemo Police Division executed a search warrant at a residence in Tudun Bojuwa Quarters, Fagge LGA, where two sacks containing incriminating materials were discovered.
A team from the command’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit conducted identification and analysis of the suspected materials.
In another operation, officers from the Anti-Thuggery Unit intercepted a tricycle rider at Sani Mainagge Quarters, Gwale LGA, with three bags containing suspected heavy materials.
The Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Bakori, commended the officers involved and urged the public to remain vigilant.
He called on residents to report suspicious movements or items to the nearest police station or through the command’s emergency contacts.
