Kaduna State's Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) has apprehended three individuals attempting to smuggle hard drugs hidden inside a loaf of bread to a detainee in police custody.
The suspects, John Solomon (38), Kunle Oluwale (45), and James Daniel Baba (45), all residents of Sabon Wuse, Abuja, were arrested at the SCID Kaduna's charge room.
ASP Mansir Hassan, the police command spokesperson, confirmed the arrests in a statement. The suspects were found with a Bomtel handset and an unspecified quantity of drugs concealed within a loaf of bread.
“They tried to persuade the Charge Room Officer (CRO) to deliver the loaf to Gideon Amao, a suspect currently under investigation by the SCID,” said ASP Hassan.
Photographs of the suspects and the seized items have been taken, and an investigation is underway. Further updates will be provided as the case progresses.
Commissioner of Police CP Audu Ali Dabigi has urged officers to remain vigilant and observant to prevent such incidents in the future.
