The Chairman of the committee, Mr Bello Bakyasuwa, disclosed this while handing over the suspects to the police in Gusau.
He said, “On Saturday, during a patrol around 12am, we intercepted a vehicle on Gusau-Magami road, from which we recovered 100 new SIM packs, Kuskura, snuff, sexual enhancers and other drugs.
“The state government has banned night movement in the area the vehicle was heading to, and one of our duties is to ensure total compliance with the government’s directive in that regard.
“Earlier on that Saturday evening, we arrested three young men for attacking celebrants at an event in Tudun Wada area of Gusau metropolis. The hoodlums have a new strategy of phone snatching at ceremonies.
“We recovered many handsets from them. Other suspects are at large, but our men have been working to arrest them.”
