The Bauchi State Police Command said it had arrested two members of a Crack Cocaine Syndicate.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Lawan Jimeta, said this during a news conference in Bauchi on Thursday.
Jimeta named the suspects as Chigozie Oje, 32, of Awala Roundabout, and Faruq Yakubu, 25, of Wunti Street, both in Bauchi.
He said the suspects were arrested by operatives of the Intelligence Bureau of the Command, following a tip off.
Jimeta said nine grams of crack cocaine was recovered from the suspects, who would be charged to court after detailed investigations.
The Commissioner said 30 other suspects had been arrested in connection with kidnapping, armed robbery, rape, culpable homicide and other heinous offences, including possession of firearms.
He hinted that there was a robbery incident on Wednesday where a cashier of one of the local government councils in the state was robbed of over N1 million.
Jimeta said: “The cashier went to one of banks alone without escort and withdrew the money but was later trailed to Awala Hotel and was shot.
“For now, there is no arrest made, but we are working diligently on information we have in order to prevent making blind arrests.
“We want a situation whereby if we arrest somebody we can make charges against the person arrested.
“We are calling on members of the public, especially those handling huge sums of money such as cashiers and traders, to use cashless electronic devices.”
