Police arrest man with illicit drugs in Enugu

The Enugu State Police have arrested a 42-year-old man for allegedly peddling illicit drugs, including marijuana and synthetic variants.

In Enugu, Nigeria, the police have apprehended a 42-year-old man named Musa Zuberu in connection with illicit drug activities. This arrest occurred during a routine patrol on February 11, 2026, by operatives of the Crack Tactical Squad, demonstrating the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat drug-related crimes in the area.

The police spokesperson, Daniel Ndukwe, reported that the operation led to the recovery of significant quantities of illegal substances, notably marijuana, including high-profile variants like 'Canadian Loud' and 'Colorado'. The presence of these synthetic drugs highlights the evolving nature of drug trafficking and poses new challenges for law enforcement in Enugu and across Nigeria.

Authorities have indicated that investigations are continuing to identify and detain other individuals involved in this drug network, reflecting a proactive approach in dismantling the broader infrastructure of drug peddling in the region. This incident underscores the persistent issue of drug abuse and trafficking in Nigeria, prompting discussions on public safety and health initiatives to address the ramifications of such activities.
