Police arrest 52 suspects in late-night raids across Abuja

Federal Capital Territory law enforcement officials detained fifty-two individuals during simultaneous operations targeting criminal strongholds and unfinished structures throughout Abuja. Officers from eleven police divisions executed the coordinated strikes at 11:45 PM on September 14. Personnel from Nyanya, Maitama, Gwagwa, Dawaki, Gwarinpa, Asokoro, Karu, Jikwoyi, Mpape, Lokogoma and Utako divisions participated in the enforcement action. Authorities seized materials believed to be Indian hemp and additional banned substances from several detainees.

All apprehended individuals remain confined at respective divisional facilities while undergoing identification procedures and questioning sessions. Law enforcement officials confirmed that suspects determined to have violated regulations will face formal charges through the judicial system. The multi-division approach demonstrates enhanced cooperation between various police units across the capital territory. This enforcement strategy targets known criminal gathering points and abandoned construction sites that frequently serve as operational bases for illegal activities.
