Police Apprehend Drug Seller Recover Stolen Vehicle

The Police in Abuja have arrested a drug seller with a large quantity of packaged dried Cannabis Sativa and also recovered a vehicle suspected to have been stolen.

GWG.ng gathered that the police tactical unit attached to the Karshi Divisional Police Headquarters had, on Wednesday, at about 2 am, foiled the supply of the drugs while carrying out a routine stop and search at Gidan Mangoro. The policemen at the check point had spotted an abandoned Toyota Camry with Reg. No. GBK 76 HG, few meters from their duty post.

Having also received information of the supply of drugs the police commenced surveillance of the area in a concerted effort with local vigilante.

The suspected drug seller Fabian Ukeugbona, ignorant of the move, later got into the car and zoomed off, prompting the already alerted officers to give a hot chase which led to his arrest, recovery of the car, and seizure of cannabis Sativa.

22-year-old Ukeugbona, male, was arrested with the vehicle. 

Confirming the incident, the FCT Police spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, noted that the suspect would be handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.

Adeh said, “The suspect, in a voluntary statement, admitted to committing the crime, stating that he had been into the criminal enterprise for over three years.

“The suspect and the prohibited substance will be handed over to the NDLEA, for further action, while investigation continues.”

This came barely a week after the arrest of two suspects and confiscation of 100 bags of cannabis Sativa were recorded by officers of the FCT Police Command.
