The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency NDLEA in Kogi, has destroyed over 30 hectares of Cannabis Sativa (Indian hemp) plantation, valued at about N12million.

The plantation is located in a thick forest about 70 kilometres from Ife-Olukotun, Yagba East local government of Kogi.
Speaking to journalists in Lokoja, the commander of the Agency in the state who accompanied the joint NDLEA/Army team on the operation on Wednesday at the farm, Alhaji idris Bello, said the operation followed months of painstaking surveillance to identify location of the farm, monitoring and arrest of the owner.

Bello explained that the discovery and the arrest confirmed his fears that the state had graduated from consumer of cannabis to producer status, stressing that farmer of the dangerous weed was aided by indegenes of the state.
He further lamented that those who worked on the plantation and the person who gave the land where the deadly weed was cultivated could not have come from another place than Kogi state.
The NDLEA boss noted that if the Indian hemp plantation was allowed to grow to maturity, it would have netted about N12million at harvest season.

Daily Post can report that the farm was destroyed in the presence of the suspected owner, one Sunday Olishe from Emu in Ndukwa West Local Government of Delta state, who was earlier arrested by the operatives of NDLEA.
Olishe, 35, stated he started the business about two years ago and had invested over N250,000 in cultivating the expanse of land adding that he paid the sum of N50,000 to one Yomi, the land owner.

Bello called on Kogites, especially the rural dwellers, to report those dealing in hard drugs – the traffickers, cultivators and their barons to law enforcement agents to rid the society of their evil as he described them as enemy of humanities.
