The Anambra State Command of the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), has intercepted 25.2 kilograms of
Methamphetamine worth 1.7 billion Naira from a vehicle carrying the
dangerous substance.
Addressing journalists at the Onitsha Command of the Agency on the
latest development, the State Commander, Mr. Sule Momodu, says the
command received intelligence information of the shipment of the
dangerous drugs into the state for onward movement to Lagos.
In a swift stop and search exercise, the agency luckily intercepted
the substance and arrested a 31 year old suspected hard drug dealer,
Vincent Chidiebere.
Mr Momodu said the chemicals used for the production are highly toxic
and can cause permanent destruction to the ecosystem while posing a
serious health hazard to the community where it is produced.
He reminded the public that Governor of the state, Willie Obiano has
pledged a reward of half a million Naira to anyone with information on
where the substances are being produced within the state and assured of
the readiness of the command, with support from the public in the area
of information, to fight the illicit drug production and peddling in the
state.
In a similar development, the Anambra state Police Command also
paraded 20 suspected cultists and another notorious armed robbery
suspect.
The new State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Sam Okaula, reiterated his
crime fighting commitment and warned all criminal elements in Anambra
state to relocate as the prevailing peace and security in the state can
never be compromised.
Mr. Okaula said he has directed the Divisional Police Officers, Area
Commanders and Heads of Departments to display their numbers for the
public to access, as his own would also be displayed to ensure a
collective attack on crime and criminality in the state.
