In a statement on Tuesday, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, disclosed that operatives from the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team and the Anti-Cultism Squad carried out the separate raids.

Items recovered from them include 32 small containers of suspected cannabis, one sachet of the same substance, and 12 wrapped pills suspected to be hard drugs.
