Operatives of Kaduna State Vigilante Service (KADVS), in Dutsen Lungu, Ikara Local Government Area (LGA), have confiscated 15 bags of suspected cannabis worth hundreds of thousands of naira.
Bala Galadima, Zonal Commander of KADVS, Zaria Zone, who displayed the drugs to journalists in Zaria, said the arrest followed information received by operatives during their routine patrol.
Mr Galadima stated that the suspected owner of the substance narrowly escaped arrest, but one motorcycle was also confiscated during the operation.
