The Kaduna State Police Command on Tuesday said it intercepted fake drugs worth N15 million in Zaria. The Spokesperson of the Command, ASP Muktar Aliyu who disclosed this to newsmen in Kaduna said the Police Area Command in Zaria had intercepted the fake drugs after a tip-off by some residents.
“On getting the information, our men swung into action and eventually intercepted the adulterated drugs which would have destroyed the lives of innocent citizens. The said fake drugs were intercepted at Sabon Gari market in Zaria where the owner had already offloaded the consignment for distribution. This is a serious calamity and of course harmful to human existence. I want to plead with people not to be discouraged in providing useful information to security personnel for prompt action,” he said.
He further stated that investigation aimed at ascertaining the origin and channel of distribution of the drugs was ongoing.
