TWENTY suspected criminals are now in detention in Aba following a raid, yesterday, by the Police from Ariaria Division of the city on two Indian hemp spots said to be haven for notorious criminals within Ariaria International Market.
.
The arrest came barely one week after the Police from the Area Command in Aba raided a hotel which allegedly serves as criminals hide-out in the city centre where no fewer than 20 suspected criminals were apprehended.
.
The spots identified as 'Black Kingdom' at Samek by Old express road and 'Snow White' at Bakassi were all located near Ariaria International Market.

It was gathered that before the police raid, 'Black kingdom' was one of the areas where drug addicts in the city relocated after they were dislodged by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, from their former location at 'York' at Park road.
