NIS arrests suspected drug peddler, cattle rustler in Jigawa

Two suspects have been detained by the Jigawa State Command of the Nigeria Immigration Service for alleged drug dealing and cattle rustling in the state.

When Ahmed Bagari, the NIS Comptroller, addressed reporters about the arrest in Dutse on Thursday, he revealed this information.

Bagari reported that at around 7 o'clock on Wednesday, NIS officers detained the alleged drug dealer in Birniwa Local Government Area.

He said: “Our personnel intercepted suspected drug peddlers at Fatalan village in Birniwa LGA on Wednesday at about 7pm on their way to Niger Republic in four vehicles carrying the suspected drugs, Pregabalin Capsules.

“Three of the suspected drivers escaped, but our men were able to arrest one of them and his vehicle, a black Jeep.”

Bagari explained that the vehicle was carrying 29 cartons of the suspected drugs.

The comptroller added that one Nigerian Standard e-passport, mobile phones and knives were recovered from the suspect.

According to him, the suspected cattle rustler was arrested by the same personnel in Hadejia LGA.

Bagari said the suspect was arrested in a vehicle with a cow suspected to be stolen.

He added that the suspected drug peddler was handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, while the cattle rustler was handed over to the Police for further action.

The Comptroller urged the general public to always report suspected cases of drug peddling and other criminal acts to nearest security agencies for prompt action.
