Kiyawa added that this is with a view to ridding Kano State of all forms of crimes and criminality, especially the menace of thuggery, drug abuse, as well as other social vices.
“All the suspects from various addresses within Kano Metropolitan were arrested with dangerous weapons, illicit drugs, robbed and stolen properties.
“The suspects will be charged to court upon completion of investigations”, he said.
To ensure a hitch-free 2023 Eid El Fitr Sallah Celebrations across the state, the State Commissioner of Police Command, Mamman Dauda, warned that anyone found in possession of any weapon during the festive periods would be arrested.
