The Kano State Multi‑Agency Task Force on Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking announced that it has seized approximately 3,180,000 capsules suspected to be pregabalin in the Sabon Gari area of Fagge Local Government Area.
The operation was carried out as part of the task force’s ongoing campaign to curb drug abuse and illegal trafficking in the state. Pregabalin is a prescription medication that is often misused for its psychoactive effects, and its large-scale distribution poses a serious public‑health risk.
Sabon Gari, a densely populated neighbourhood in Fagge, has previously been identified as a hub for the sale of illicit drugs. The seizure is expected to disrupt the supply chain and reduce the availability of the drug to local communities.
Officials from the task force said the confiscated capsules will be handed over to the relevant authorities for further analysis and disposal. The move follows a series of coordinated raids across Kano that aim to strengthen the state’s drug‑control regime.
