Kano Police arrest 345 suspects, recover 270 weapons in statewide crackdown
Kano State Police Command has arrested 345 suspects and recovered 270 dangerous weapons during a three-day statewide security operation aimed at tackling thuggery, drug trafficking, and other violent crimes across the state.
The Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, disclosed this on Monday during a press briefing at the Bompai Police Headquarters in Kano.
He warned criminal elements that Kano was no longer a safe haven for illegal activities, stressing that the command would sustain raids, intelligence-led operations, and prosecutions to ensure that crime remained under control.
According to the police chief, the operation was conducted between June 5 and June 7, 2026, across all 44 local government areas of the state, targeting identified criminal hideouts, black spots, and drug distribution centres.
Bakori said the exercise was part of the command’s intensified efforts to dismantle criminal networks, intercept illegal weapons, and disrupt drug supply chains in line with the directives of the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu.
“The three-day operation yielded significant results, with 345 suspects arrested, including suspected thugs, drug peddlers, and individuals found in possession of offensive weapons,” he said.
He added that officers recovered 270 dangerous weapons, including knives, cutlasses, clubs, and other items commonly used in violent crimes.
A substantial quantity of suspected illicit substances was also seized, including Cannabis Sativa, Exol tablets, and a dangerous mixture locally known as “Suck and Die.”
The commissioner noted that the recoveries had significantly weakened the operational capacity of criminal groups and contributed to improving public safety across the state.
Bakori attributed the success of the operation to two key initiatives of the command—Operation Kukan Kura and the newly established Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU).
He explained that Operation Kukan Kura had enhanced police visibility, improved response times to emergency calls, and denied criminals the opportunity to regroup in identified flashpoints.
The VCRU, he said, had strengthened the command’s tactical response to violent crimes and gang-related activities through improved intelligence gathering and rapid deployment capabilities.
Reaffirming the command’s commitment to combating crime, Bakori declared that no form of criminality would be tolerated in Kano State.
“As I stated on assumption of duty, no form of criminality will be entertained in Kano State. We will continue to apply the law firmly and fairly against thuggery, drug trafficking, and violent offences,” he said.
The commissioner noted that available data and feedback from residents indicated a decline in crime rates across several parts of the state, attributing the progress to sustained operational pressure, improved intelligence sharing, and the professionalism of police personnel.
He also commended the Kano State Government for its support and expressed appreciation to residents for providing useful information that aided police operations.
Bakori urged members of the public to remain vigilant and continue reporting suspicious activities to security agencies, assuring them that all information would be treated confidentially and acted upon promptly.
“The Kano State Police Command remains focused on protecting lives and property, upholding the rule of law, and sustaining the downward trend in crime,” he said. “Operation Kukan Kura will continue, the VCRU will be further strengthened, and our engagement with communities will be deepened.”
