The Kano State Police Command reported that its agents had detained 14 suspected criminals as part of their attempts to purge the state of any criminal activity.
This was stated in a statement released on Thursday via SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa’s Facebook page, the command’s public relations officer.
The arrests, according to the statement, took place during clearance operations carried out by a team of Operation Restore Peace under the direction of CSP Bashir Musa Gwadabe.
The accused were found to be in possession of lethal weapons, illegal substances, stolen, and looted valuables.
The police spokesman added, “Rigorous patrol and raids of criminals’ hideouts and black spots will continue throughout the state, as the Command will sustain the tempo in ensuring the safety of lives and properties.”
