According to the statement, the operation followed repeated complaints from residents of Birnin Ruwa, Tullukawa and Yar Gada communities over the activities of groups of youths popularly known as “Arlet Boys.”

The police said the youths were allegedly involved in reckless motorcycle riding and other acts capable of causing public disorder in the affected communities.

The statement explained that on June 7 at about 7:30 p.m., police operatives carried out coordinated raids on identified criminal hideouts and black spots within the three communities.

It said the operation led to the arrest of 21 suspects and the recovery of 20 motorcycles.

“The arrested suspects will be subjected to thorough screening and investigation, while those found culpable will be charged to court accordingly,” the statement said.

The command assured residents that the operation would be sustained to rid the affected communities of criminal elements and enhance public safety.

It also urged members of the public to continue providing timely and credible information to security agencies to support crime prevention efforts across the state.

The police reiterated their commitment to maintaining law and order as well as protecting lives and property throughout Zamfara.

31.5kg cocaine trafficking: 11 Indian sailors, ship convicted, fined $6million
. Nigeria no longer a safe corridor for cocaine or any other illicit substance, Marwa warns drug cartels

Barely six months after their arrest by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for importing 31.5 kilograms of cocaine from Marshall Islands into Nigeria through the Apapa seaport in Lagos, 11 Indian sailors and their merchant vessel marked MV Aruna Hulya have been convicted and fined a total of Six Million US Dollars ($6million) by a Federal High Court in Lagos.
The Agency took into custody the Indian crew members and their merchant vessel, MV Aruna Hulya, following the discovery of 31.5 kilograms of cocaine in hatch 3 of the ship by NDLEA operatives at the GDNL terminal, Apapa port Lagos on Friday 2nd January 2026.
The Master of the Vessel, Sharma Shashi Bhushan and 10 other crew members, namely: Bharati Manoj Kumar; Nevage Sandesh Suresh; Pandey Prashant; Nuttu Anand; Akash Babu; Nilesh Mukuno Bhalerad; Melethil Insaf Rahman; Barla Chantanya Krishna; Prabhasukhan Singu; and Jai Parkash were eventually arraigned on two counts charge in suit number
FHC/ L/56C/2026 before Joseph Chukwujekwu Aneke of the Federal High Court, Lagos.
After months before the court, the trial judge on Thursday 11th June 2026 delivered his ruling on plea bargain terms filed by the prosecution and defence in the case. As a result, all 12 defendants were convicted under Section 25 of the NDLEA Act and sentenced to pay the sum of 100,000 Naira each which is the penalty for the offence under the Act. ⁠In addition, the 1st defendant, which is the vessel, is to pay restitution to the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the sum of Five Million Three Hundred Thousand US dollars ($5,300,000) or its equivalent in Naira.
The three principal officers of the vessel who are the 2nd, 3rd and 4th defendants, namely: Sharma Shashi Bhushan; Nilesh Mukuno Bhalerad; and Melethil Insaf Rahman are also to pay restitution to the Federal Government in the sum of 100,000 US dollars each, while
other crew members, the 5th to 12th defendants are to pay their restitution in the sum of 50, 000 US dollars each.
Reacting to the landmark judgement, Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, Brig Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa (rtd) noted that the conviction of the vessel and its crew members sends a resounding message to every drug trafficking network in the world that “Nigeria is no longer a safe corridor for cocaine or any other illicit substance.”
According to him, “This judgment is the third of its kind in recent times, following the convictions of foreign nationals and vessels on similar charges. Let it be known that these are not coincidences, they are the direct result of deliberate, intelligence-led operations by our officers who remain vigilant at every port of entry.

“The NDLEA will not relent. Whether you come by air, land, or sea; whether you are a Nigerian or a foreign national, if you attempt to use our waters as a narcotics highway, you will face the full weight of Nigerian law. Our courts have spoken, and we will continue to give them reason to speak. The war against drug trafficking is one we are winning and we intend to keep it that way.”
He commended the officers, men and women of the Apapa Strategic Command of the Agency for their vigilance in identifying the cocaine consignment buried deep within the cargo of a massive commodity vessel. He specifically expressed appreciation to the Agency’s Directorate of Prosecution and Legal Services for their diligence in the prosecution of the case.

[maki ❦ @reaIesbian]

ITV News and the BBC referred to Omar Artan as a “Somali refugee” and “Somalia’s top refugee” instead of correctly identifying him as a professional referee.
They’re shamelessly pushing a narrative about a man who was travelling for work

STROKE and KIDNEY FAILURE hit Amaechi Muonagor like thunder. He was paralyzed, he begged on his sick bed, cried, asked people for support to enable him go for transplant but nobody came through for him. Nollywood ghosted him completely! Colleagues vanished, family struggled, he was left to ROT and DIE alone at 62!

He was abandoned by many including his colleagues in Nollywood. This is heartbreaking 💔 rest in peace 🕊️

Many of you today are hustling, living large but you are making one mistake. You're not saving for your retirement and planning your old age. Do not end up in such terrible situation because it won't be funny at all. Many men today have been abandoned by the same children they worked so hard to raise.

If I ever become Nigeria's leader, after a 5 year campaign against poverty, illiteracy and insecurity, I will deploy troops to take back the Bakassi peninsula.

I couldn't give an ounce of a damn what the ICJ said.

If they can't arrest genocider-in-chief Benjamin Satanyahu, they have no right to tell us our land isn't ours.

Omar Artan is back in Mogadishu.
The Somali referee was set to become the first man from his country to play an on-pitch role at the World Cup.
Artan was barred from entering the US despite holding a diplomatic passport and a single-entry US visa.
