The operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), have arrested a notorious supplier of illicit drugs to bandits operating in the Shiroro local government area of Niger state.
This was after the 33-year-old Mohammed Sani (alias Gamboli) had weeks ago escaped arrest at his home in Anguwan Makera, Kuta, Shiroro local government area of Niger state.
Following credible intelligence about the illicit drug activities of Gamboli, NDLEA operatives had on 20th November 2025 raided his house at Anguwan Makera, Kuta, where they recovered 471.8 kilograms of skunk, a strain of cannabis.
Though he escaped arrest during the raid and has since been in hiding, the manhunt for him eventually paid off on Thursday 11th December when NDLEA officers acting on processed intelligence traced and arrested him at one of his drug joints in Anguwan Fadama, Kuta.
Intelligence reports had indicated that Gamboli is a major supplier of illicit drugs to bandits operating in Shiroro local government area, according to a statement by Femi Babafemi, Director, Media & Advocacy of NDLEA.
