The Kaduna State Police Command has arrested three suspects for allegedly attempting to smuggle hard drugs concealed in a loaf of bread.
The Command’s Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, confirmed the arrest in a statement issued on Sunday in Kaduna.
“The three suspects were arrested for attempting to smuggle drugs in a loaf of bread into a police cell for a suspect,” Hassan stated.
The suspects were identified as John Solomon (38), Kunle Oluwale (45), and James Daniel Baba (45), all residents of Sabon Wuse, Abuja. They were arrested at the charge room of the SCID in Kaduna.
“The suspects were found with a Bomtel handset and an unspecified quantity of drugs hidden inside a loaf of bread.
They attempted to persuade the Charge Room Officer (CRO) to deliver the loaf to one Gideon Amao, a suspect currently under investigation by the SCID.”
Hassan added that an investigation is ongoing and further developments would be communicated in due course.
The Commissioner of Police, Ali Dabigi, has warned officers to remain vigilant to prevent such incidents.
