Many are still reeling from shock as they ponder over the implication of 498kgs of Cannabis, otherwise known as Indian hemp, entering the drug market in Bauchi State. But this was fortunately averted, thanks to eagle-eyed operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, who had risen to the occasion by impounding it at Azare, a local government area of the state.

The belief is that if this huge consignment of drugs had not been detected and impounded, there was a possibility that it could have triggered an increase in crime rate in the state.

Vanguard Metro, VM, gathered that on August 17, 2012, the command made a seizure of 489kgs of Cannabis Sativa worth 7.4 million concealed inside a truck with registration number XP 67 MUS. The owner of the truck, who happened to be the driver and major conspirator in the illegal deal of the Cannabis, was arrested.

The suspect, Olisaemeka Wilson Chinedu, aged 27 years, is an indigene of Delta State, but resides in Akure, Ondo State where he sources for this product of death and distributes it in the North East political zone of the country.
