The Kaduna State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) has arrested three suspects for attempting to supply hard drugs to a suspect in police custody.

The suspects were found with a Bomtel handset and an unspecified quantity of drugs hidden inside a loaf of bread.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Kaduna State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, on Sunday.

“They attempted to persuade the Charge Room Officer (CRO) to deliver the loaf of bread to one Gideon Amao, a suspect currently under investigation by the SCID.

“The suspects, identified as John Solomon (male, 38 years), Kunle Oluwale (male, 45 years), and James Daniel Baba (male, 45 years), all residents of Sabon Wuse, Abuja, were arrested at the charge room of the SCID Kaduna,” he said.

According to him, photographs of the suspects and the recovered items have been taken.

He further added that an investigation is ongoing and further developments would be communicated in due course.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Audu Ali Dabigi, warn officers to stay vigilant and observant in order to avoid any unfortunate incidences from happening.
