NDLEA arrests 231 drug suspects in Oyo

 

The Oyo State Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) reportedly arrested 231 suspects between June 2020 and June 2021, over alleged drug-related offences.

Briefing newsmen on the command’s activities during the period under review on Thursday in Ibadan, Mrs Josephine Obi, the state Commander, said the suspects comprised 215 males and 16 females.

Obi, who was represented by Assistant Commander Anthony Gotar said the command also seized 6,355.74kg of Cannabis Sativa and other psychotropic substances during the period.

“NDLEA is determined to consolidate its success, but this cannot be done in isolation, therefore the co-operation of all and sundry is needed to win this war.

“We must end all these vices caused by drug abuse and drug trafficking.

“This year’s theme suggests we need collaboration, help and support from all of us especially those present here to share our knowledge and understanding about drug abuse and drug trafficking to others, which will help in no small measure in curbing this dangerous phenomenon,” she added.
