The Kano Road and Traffic Agency (KAROTA) has arrested one Ekennah Okechuku for allegedly transporting more than 60 cartons containing Indian Hemp into Kano State.
In a
statement issued by the spokesperson of KAROTA, Nabilusi Abubakar Kofar Na’isa,
Okechukwu upon his arrest was discovered to be on the wanted list of the
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), for a similar offence.
While handing
over the suspect to the Commander, NDLEA, Dr Ibrahim Abdul, the Managing
Director, KAROTA, Baffa Babba Dan’agundi, said his agency recently ordered the
relocation of Sabon Gari Luxury Buses Park due to a report of such crimes
committed using such vehicles.
He said the
order was beginning to yield the intended results as some of the luxury bus
companies were cooperating with KAROTA to expose persons or groups transporting
prohibited items into Kano State using their services.
He warned
that any company whose driver or his boys were found to be conniving with
unscrupulous individuals to commit a crime in the state, such vehicle would be
seized and the company expelled from Kano State.
