According To Punch, The Katsina State Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency says it arrested over 100 drug suspects in the state between July 10 and August 10. The News Agency of Nigeria reported that the agency’s new state commander, Hassan Sani-Abubakar, disclosed this at a press conference on Thursday in Katsina. Sani-Abubakar said after the investigation, the suspects would be charged in court.
According to him, from his assumption of office on July 10, the command has also seized about 70 kg of different exhibits across the state.

Sani-Abubakar, a Commander of Narcotics, revealed that the command had also intensified its operation to ensure that the state was rid of drug abuse. He also pledged his readiness as the new commander to go through nooks and crannies in the state where the drug dealers and users hide. The commander said he had visited all the security agencies in the state and other stakeholders to seek their support towards the fight against drug abuse in Katsina.

He said,

“In terms of drug demand and supply, right now, our team is already at the motor park doing what they know best in terms of enlightenment about the danger of trafficking and abusing drugs. “You will agree with me that drug is not only about trafficking or abusing them, there are a lot of issues associated with crimes and what have you.“

My focus, while here, will be engaging the whole stakeholders to double effort to ensure that we reduce this menace to the barest minimum.
