The operation, which was carried out in the early hours of Tuesday, also led to the recovery of N598,400 in cash, according to the Police Public Relations Officer of the Anambra State Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga. Ikenga, in a statement issued on Tuesday, said the operation was conducted by operatives of the Command’s Rapid Response Squad, Awkuzu, following credible intelligence on the activities of suspected illicit drug dealers operating in the area. The Police said their operatives stormed the suspected criminal hideout in Obosi, where a search of the premises yielded a substantial quantity of substances suspected to be Cannabis sativa, methamphetamine and other illicit drugs. Some of the suspected criminals at the location were said to have fled when they sighted the Police operatives. Recall that the new Commissioner, upon assumption of office, had pledged to strengthen intelligence-led and technology-driven policing, improve operational efficiency and deepen proactive measures against criminal activities across the State.
