The commander disclosed that NDLEA also arrested 106 male suspects, among which 11 were identified as major drug dealers.
NDLEA says it arrested 319 suspects and seized 4.7 tonnes of illicit drugs between January and March 2024 in Kano.
“Significant numbers of crimes are committed under the influence of drugs.’’
“The arrest of the suspects is a significant victory for the NDLEA in its fight against drug-related activities in Kano,” said the agency.

Mr Marwa said during the public burning of the illicit drugs that the action was to prevent them from going back to society.
