We made an arrest of 120 compressed packets of cannabis sativa which is in blocks. The 120 blocks weighs 99 kg and the two suspects are here with us.”
While calling for synergy from members of the public in reporting suspected cases. Nnodim said the arrest of the suspects had averted impending disregard to civil order in the state.
“If that quantity had gone into circulation without checks to the society you know what that means. We will continue to do our best and we ask anyone concerned to partner with NDLEA. We can’t achieve much without information, we urge the society to support us with information. If a child is into drug dealing the mother father, mother and siblings are in danger,” she said.
