While leading his officers to Ilara, a border town in Imeko-Afon where the discovery was made, Iliyasu said the feat was made possible through intelligence gathering during routine stop and search conducted by his men.
“It is a scientifically-designed method of criminality and gangsterism. This is a cartel. Our team has been working on intelligence about the movement of these criminal gangs for over several months, like six months and today they have met their waterloo,” he said on Saturday.
