KANO — The Kano State Police Command has arrested a 51-year-old man allegedly found in possession of a pistol, suspected cannabis, a knife and other items during the ongoing enforcement of Operation Clean Plates in the state.
The Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, disclosed this on Monday while briefing journalists at the Command Headquarters in Bompai, saying the arrest underscored the need for the operation targeting vehicles with covered, defaced or no registration number plates.
According to him, operatives attached to the Panshekara Police Division intercepted a vehicle without a registration plate at about 11 a.m. on July 9 within Kano metropolis.
Bakori said the driver, identified as Mahi Ibrahim of Rijiyar Zaki Quarters, allegedly refused to stop and attempted to flee but was later apprehended by the officers.
