Kano Police Arrest 187 Suspects in Three-Day Crackdown

Operatives of the Kano State Police Command arrested 187 suspects in a coordinated three-day operation across all 44 local government areas. The crackdown focused on armed robbers, drug peddlers and other criminal hideouts. Commissioner Ibrahim Adamu Bakori said the June 5–7 operation recovered 270 weapons and seized quantities of cannabis, Exol tablets and the “Suck and Die” mixture. Launched under Operation Kukan Kura and backed by the IGP’s directive, the clearance used community intelligence and rapid deployment to disrupt criminal networks and drug supply chains. Bakori urged residents to continue reporting suspicious activity and warned that the command will sustain raids and prosecutions until crime in Kano becomes untenable.
