Kano Customs uncovered a time-warped narcotics treasure Friday during warehouse revamps—smashing a mystery cabinet passed officer-to-officer since the ’80s, spilling 1986-87 seizures like 16.4kg cannabis blocks/slabs, 52,168 quinalbarbitone capsules (14.6kg), 246g permuline tabs, 220g heroin parcels and 2.4kg mystery white powder that dodged explosives tests but screamed lab time with NDLEA.
CG Bashir Adewale-Adeniyi spotlighted the pre-NDLEA custody marathon—no keys, no leaks, pure institutional steel—now handing off faded contraband (potency wilted but docs pristine) for forensic finale, disposal and zero monetary hype amid market flux, echoing NCS’s evolution from solo guardians to streamlined partners in Nigeria’s narco wars.
NDLEA rep Bello Garba-Jabo saluted the decades-long vigil as operational heroism pre-1989 agency birth, proving exhibit lockdown beats diversion risks in analog eras—while this purge frees space for hi-tech seizures, underscoring anti-drug continuity amid Kebbi rice forts, NAFDAC burns and army raids painting a fortified Naija security canvas.
