Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command have raided identified black spots across the territory from 1st August 2025 to date leading to the arrest of 116 suspects, just as 27 have been charged to court.

A press statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Josephine Adeh, in a press statement, Friday in Abuja, said: “In a sustained effort to rid the FCT of illicit drugs and related crimes, Police officers attached to the Anti-Narcotics Section of FCT Police Command carried out several coordinated raids across identified black spots from 1st August 2025 to date.

“The operations, which covered areas including Asokoro, Trademore, Mapape, Kurudu, Kubwa, Gwarimpa, Jikwoyi, Utako, Life Camp, Zuba, and Karshi, led to the arrest of 116 suspects.

“Recovered exhibits include various illicit substances, hard drugs, and dried leaves suspected to be cannabis.”

According to the PPRO, “Following diligent screening, 89 suspects were released, while the remaining offenders have been charged to court for public nuisance and possession of illicit drugs and substances.

“While the Commissioner of Police, FCT, CP Ajao S. Adewale, psc, mnips, lauds the effort of the operatives, he reaffirms the Command’s commitment to ensuring a safe and drug-free capital city.

“He also urges residents to remain law-abiding, shun all forms of hard drug abuse and trafficking, and support ongoing security efforts.”
