National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has destroyed Indian hemp worth N15.1bn. This involves the destruction of cannabis plantations in four states across the country-Ekiti, Edo, Delta and Kogi. According to Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju,Head of Public Affairs,the cannabis weighs around 1,514,278 kg. Uche Obi,the operation head of the group Akunnubas that sells cannabis was caught.Popularly called the ‘King Maker’ by his group members,Uche Obi and seven others were arrested alongside two truck drivers. Disclosing the news,Mr.Mitchell Ofoyeju,the Head of NDLEA’s Public Affairs said: “Cannabis plantations were raided and destroyed at Ise Forest Reserve in Ise/Orun Local Government Area of Ekiti State and Ode Camp in Gboyin Local Government Area of the same state. “Another plantation was also destroyed at Utese Forest Reserve in Edo State. One hundred officers drawn from various State Commands participated in the operation that lasted for twelve days.” He went ahead to say that the cartel controls over 80% of cannabis production in Nigeria. “Our investigation revealed that the Akunnubas are responsible for over eighty per cent of cannabis production in Nigeria. The syndicate hires cheap labour including school age children to work in cannabis farms. They use motorcycles in conveying processed cannabis from the farms to a temporary covert warehouse from where trucks are later used in taking the drug for inter- State distribution." Also speaking on the destruction,NDLEA’s Director of Operations and General Investigations, Mr. Olugbenga Mabo said: “Two trucks containing 2,103kg of cannabis were seized in Lokoja, Kogi State.
