The Kano State Police Command on Wednesday announced the arrest of 41 crime suspects and recovery of dangerous weapons and intoxicating drugs.
The police command said the arrests mark a significant breakthrough in its efforts to combat crime in the state.
In a statement made available to newsmen on Wednesday, Public Relations Officer of the Police Command, SP Abdullahi Kiyawa, said the arrests followed a series of raids on criminal hideouts and black spots in areas of public outcry within Kano Metropolis.
He attributed the achievement to the sustenance of intelligence-led policing by CP Dogo.
According to Kiyawa, all forms of crimes are reducing drastically in the State, all thanks to the cooperation and support of the law-abiding citizens.
He assured residents of the command’s relentless commitment to protecting lives and property and also called on the public to continue to cooperate with the police by providing timely and accurate information to facilitate the command’s efforts in ridding the state of criminal elements.
