(NDLEA) has discovered a house in Akure, where about 20, 000 kilograms
of Cannabis Sativa otherwise known as Indian hemp were concealed in
sacks and stocked in the rooms and roofs of the house.
Two young men who were residing in the house suspected to be drug
traffickers, were also arrested and paraded.
The rooms, toilets and roofs of the entire building, having two flats
of 3 bedrooms each, were filled with the consignment. The sacks were
loaded into the pick-up vans to the NDLEA office.
However, the residents of the area said that they had been victims of
armed robbery attacks in recent times.
While some of them gathered around to watch the raid, some others
decided to go up the hills to thank God for the exposure, believing
that the criminals using the area as hideout have been exposed.
The Ondo State Commandant of the NDLEA, Ibrahim Abdul, narrated in a
session, how the place was detected.
He, however, noted that his officers were still investigating, stating
that the major crime suspects would be apprehended soon.
The establishment of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA)
by the promulgation of Decree Number 48 of 1989, now Act of
Parliament, was aimed at exterminating illicit drug trafficking and
consumption in the Nigerian society.
