A petrol tanker conveying about 656Kg of Indian hemp has been impounded by men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency in the Kpasham Demsa Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
The Adamawa State director of the agency, Hassan A. Zungeru, paraded the driver, the conductor and one Godiya Linus, the suspected dealer before newsmen. According to him the suspects were arrested with 79 bags of the drug loaded in a petroleum tanker, coming from Owo, Ondo State.
“The drugs were meant for distribution in Ngurore, which is now being referred to as a hard drug depot,” Mr Zungeru said, adding that the arrest was made possible by intelligence and a prior clampdown on the area.
The NDLEA, which said it recently recovered 104 bags of Indian hemp, with monetary value put at over 2million Naira, pointed out that it is worried about the origin of most of the drugs that is traceable to a particular state in the South West.
