The Katsina State Police Command has apprehended two suspected drug dealers and confiscated tramadol tablets valued at ₦3.5 million, as part of ongoing efforts to combat drug abuse and trafficking in the state.

In a statement released on Thursday by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Abubakar Sadiq, the arrests followed actionable intelligence received by police operatives.

“On March 20, 2025, around 4:00 p.m., our officers arrested Murtala Salisu, 27, of Bare-bari village, Safana Local Government Area, in possession of 2,084 sachets of suspected tramadol tablets,” the statement read.
