In a meticulously planned dawn operation, authorities from the Harbour Police Division, in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies, have apprehended key figures in Freetown’s illicit drug trade. Among those arrested is 40-year-old Ibrahim Conteh, also known as Erifo, believed to be a prominent drug lord operating from Kelson Lane, Ferry Dockyard in the East End of Freetown. He was found in possession of numerous sachets of Kush and 132 wraps of the same substance, along with a significant quantity of Cannabis Sativa (jamba).
Furthermore, a crackdown on drug kingpins at the Peace Market, Ferry Junction, led to the arrest of four individuals, including 24-year-old Saffiatu Jalloh and the seizure of a substantial amount of Kush and Cannabis Sativa.
In response to these developments, LUC Kpulun, leading the charge against illicit drugs in the region, emphasized the need for perpetrators to abandon illegal activities and engage in lawful enterprises.
In a separate incident, the elusive drug lord of Fourah Bay Community, 38-year-old Omolabi Thomas, was apprehended during an intelligence-led raid. Attempting to evade capture, Thomas hired a commercial mini-bus, where he was found in possession of a significant quantity of compressed Cannabis Sativa.
The Harbour Police Division, under the strategic leadership of LUC Kpulun, remains at the forefront of the nationwide effort to combat drug proliferation. Urging the public to contribute to the fight against drug-related crimes, authorities emphasize the importance of providing actionable information to law enforcement agencies.
