NDLEA arrests two brothers with 59.5 kg of Indian Hemp

The Sokoto State Command of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency has seized 59.5 Kilogrammes of Indian hemp from two brothers in Gandu area of Sokoto city in Sokoto State.
The state Commander of the agency, Alhaji Misbahu Idris, told newsmen on Wednesday in Sokoto that the suspects, aged 34 and 32, were arrested on September 9 after a tip-off.
Idris said the suspects would be charged to the Federal High Court, Sokoto as soon as investigations were concluded.
He commended the support of residents and that of the state government in making work of the operatives more easier.
The commander particularly appreciated the recent donation of two patrol vehicles to the agency by the state government, saying it had helped to reduce its logistic problems.
Idris added: “We are also appealing to the people of the state to continue to offer useful intelligence reports to us, just as we will not relent in waging the drugs war.
“The agency will also sustain the ongoing intensive public enlightenment campaigns on the dangers of drug abuse and the trafficking of illicit drugs.”
