The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Kano has discovered and begun dismantling a series of caves and subterranean hideouts in the Rimin Kebe area that were being used for illicit drug consumption and trade.

Operatives of the Kano Command moved into the notorious Rimin Kebe enclave and found multiple caves constructed and adapted by drug dealers as living and trading spaces.

Several sites were found furnished and provisioned, while some were set up as rooms and parlours with mats, pillows, food flasks, plates and cutlery, indicating sustained occupation and regular activity.

Other caves and tunnels observed appear to be under construction and may provide underground links between hideouts.

A statement signed by the command’s Public Relations Officer, ASN Sadiq Muhammad Maigatari, revealed that several of the built caves and tunnels were demolished while the remaining hideouts within the area were secured.

The Command called on members of the public to report any suspicious activity or locations to local NDLEA offices without hesitation.
