From John Bassey, Gusau
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), under the inspired and discerning leadership of the Commandant General, Prof Ahmed Abubakar Audi, mni, OFR, is committed to civil-centred access to justice and has adopted effective measures for the prevention and eradication of illegalities within the confines of the nation.
In accordance with the Corps’ statutory mandate and in collaboration with sister security agencies, the Zamfara State Command, under the adept headship and supervision of CC Sani Mustapha, has established proactive measures to thwart incessant activities disturbing the peace and order of the state. Regulatory and investigatory structures are in place to efficiently contain these unethical dealings and criminal elements undermining the socio-economic wellbeing of the state.
In a statement by ASCI Umar Mohammed Mansur, Head of Public Relations of the Command, it was revealed that the suspect, Abdulraheed Abdullahi, ‘M’, 24 years old, was apprehended on 18 October 2026, at a checkpoint in Anka Local Government Area, Zamfara State, at about 1130 hours (11:30 am) whilst in possession of suspected hard substances.
The case was transferred from Anka Divisional Corps Office to the State Headquarters, Gusau, on the same day, 18 October 2026. The suspect is an indigene of Bagega village in Anka Local Government Area.
