Enugu State command of the National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency, NDLEA, has busted a notorious marijuana syndicate
operating in Awgu Local Government Area of the state, leading
to the confiscation of 233 bags of cannabis.
The bags of cannabis were discovered at a warehouse where
they were hidden.
Although the prime suspect, whose name was given as one
Tagbo Nwafor, is said to be on the run, his mother, whom the
agency described as an accessory, was reportedly in custody.
Inspecting the substance at the agency’s headquarters in Enugu,
Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State urged the NDLEA
personnel not to relent in their commitment to rid the society of
hard drugs.
Ugwuanyi said the cultivation and sale of hard drugs had been
having adverse effects on the youths, who are the leaders of
tomorrow.
He advised residents of communities where drug peddlers
carried out their nefarious trade to assist security agencies in
unmasking them.
