 Two articulated trucks carrying 7,500 live cartridges and packages of Indian hemp valued more than N600 million were stopped by the Kebbi State Police Command.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), one of the trucks traveled from Ghana to Nigeria via Togo and the Benin Republic, while the second vehicle sped across several security checks from the Benin Republic to Nigeria.

The command's spokeswoman, SP Nafi'u Abubakar, briefed reporters on the development and called the arrest "huge."

Three suspects, Kanta Bisa from Ghana, Shola Adeyemi from Ondo State, and Emmanuel Chukwuma from Abia State, according to Abubakar, were apprehended while others managed to flee.


Two days later, on September 12, at around 9:30 pm, the same border patrol squad stopped a second container truck with the license plate IT 21608 LA carrying 4,106 bundles of dry leaves believed to be Indian hemp and 7,500 live cartridges.
