The Vanguard report had it that, the Commander has stated that the command’s shift from reactive to proactive investigative methods was what led to the successful arrest of the suspects, whom he said have already started swallowing the parcels before taking off to Sudan from where they will continue their journey to Saudi Arabia through the sea.

“We have adopted proactive methods for effective policing and investigations as it relates to drugs.

In the same vein, the report said that the Command in the course of its duty has arrested a 4 man gang with a pistol which includes one Isah Yusuf, Nazifi Yahaya, Suleiman Kabir and Rufai Lawan, suspected to be armed robbers or bandits.
