Police arrest three suspects for mixing dried okro powder with wood dust 

Police in Gombe State have arrested three individuals accused of adulterating dried okro powder and selling it to the public.

According to ASP Buhari Abdullahi, the spokesperson for the command, the arrests came after a concerned resident tipped off the police on July 9 at approximately 5:00 p.m.

The informant reported that the suspects were mixing dried okro with wood dust, intending to deceive unsuspecting consumers.

The suspects, who are from Dadin Kowa and Dumbu villages in Yamaltu-Deba Local Government Area, were swiftly apprehended by police detectives from Dadin Kowa Area Command.

Abdullahi mentioned that the adulterated dried okro powder has been handed over to the Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) for thorough examination and analysis.

“During interrogation, the said suspects confessed to their crime and will soon be charged to court upon the conclusion of the investigation,” he said.

The police also arrested other suspects for alleged adulteration of fertiliser, homosexuality, and vandalism of electric wires.
