Kaduna: 3 arrested for allegedly smuggling ‘hard drugs’ into police cell
No fewer than three suspects have been arrested by the Kaduna State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for attempting to supply hard drugs to a suspect in police custody.
The Informant247 gathered in a statement issued by the Kaduna State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, on Sunday that the arrested suspects were found with a Bomtel handset and an unspecified quantity of drugs hidden inside a loaf of bread.
The statement reads, “They attempted to persuade the Charge Room Officer (CRO) to deliver the loaf of bread to one Gideon Amao, a suspect currently under investigation by the SCID.
“The suspects, identified as John Solomon (male, 38 years), Kunle Oluwale (male, 45 years), and James Daniel Baba (male, 45 years), all residents of Sabon Wuse, Abuja, were arrested at the charge room of the SCID Kaduna,” he said.
The statement added that photographs of the suspects and the recovered items have been taken while further investigation is ongoing, and further developments would be communicated in due course.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Audu Ali Dabigi, warns officers to stay vigilant and observant to avoid unfortunate incidents.
