Nasarawa Police Arrest Three for Marijuana Cultivation
The Nasarawa State Police Command announced the arrest of three male suspects, Aondaver Dominic, Sylvanus Umoor, and Peter Tar, on October 22, 2026, during an anti-crime patrol in Sabongida Bature and Gidan Kparev villages, Kadarko, within the Keana Local Government Area. The operation, led by police operatives from the State Criminal Investigation Department, resulted in the recovery of quantities of dry leaves suspected to be Indian hemp, as well as freshly harvested marijuana leaves from a garden behind the suspects' residence.
Upon sighting the police, the suspects attempted to flee but were apprehended. The Commissioner of Police for Nasarawa State, CP Shetima Jauro Mohammed, has ordered a thorough investigation and directed that the suspects and the recovered exhibits be handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for further action.
The police spokesperson, SP Ramhan Nansel, urged the public to provide credible information to aid in combating crime in the state.
