NDLEA seizes 456.8kg illicit drugs in Kogi
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) reported on Tuesday that in the past four days, it has detained four individuals and confiscated 456.8 kg of illegal substances in Kogi.

In an interview with newsmen in Lokoja, Alhaji Abdulkadir Abdullahi-Fakai, the NDLEA's commander in Kogi, disclosed this.

“The 456.8 kg illicit drugs including Exol-5, Codeine and Cannabis Sativa were seized between July 30 and Aug. 3, within the jurisdiction of Kogi.

“Out of the 456.8 kg drugs seized, 229.8 kg is Cannabis Sativa, 190 kg is Codeine and 20.6 kg is Exol-5, all of which were intercepted by crack intelligence officers and forwarded to our head office in Abuja.

“The four suspects arrested will soon be charged to court for prosecution in accordance with the laws of the land,” he said.

He expressed satisfaction with the cooperation between the agency and other law enforcement authorities, in particular.

The agency had received 229.8 kg of cannabis sativa and a suspect, according to the commander.

He expressed gratitude for the assistance the agency was getting from Gov. Yahaya Bello's team and other security organisations.

”We are determined to do more in the fight against illicit drugs in Kogi,” Abdullahi-Fakai vowed.

He warned criminal elements such as drug traffickers to steer clear of Kogi or ”find it hot from the agency.

“As an agency, we shall maintain our posture of ridding Kogi of the menace of illicit drugs for decent living by its residents.”

Abdullahi-Fakai, however, appealed to the general public to always assist the agency with useful information on suspected drug traffickers and drug barons for prompt action.
