He disclosed that the anti-drug abuse and trafficking agency arrested at least 122 drug suspects between January and June this year. While 114 of them were men, eight were women.

A total of 110.624kg of illicit drug, he said, was seized during the period under review with cannabis sativa known as marijuana topping with 107.26kg.

Other seizures were cocaine, 138.2 grammes, heroine, 100.54grammes, liquid methamphetamine 2.615kg and solid methamphetamine 510 grammes.

Momodu, however, called for the inauguration of the state Drug Control Committee to help drive national drug control plans and objectives.

The state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jesophat Akabuike, who represented the governor at the event, restated the state’s commitment to the fight against crime in the state, including drug abuse and trafficking.

@OP

Indeed NDLEA data collated over the last few
years shows that most of those arrest for
cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine hard-drugs
trafficking at Murtala Mohd. International
Airport come mainly from Anambra. If you
further drill down the data, those arrested
come mainly from a particular part of Anambra.

The remaining less than 10% of those arrested
at MMIA come from other ethnicities or states.
Just last week a 37-year-old Drug baron
from the same Anambra was arrested for
illegally producing methamphetamine in
his Ajao Estate in Isolo, Lagos residence.
This substance causes cancer and psychosis
when it is ingested, and the waste product
from the meth production can contaminate
the underground fresh water table. NDLEA
usually brings US-based professionals to
into Nigeria to decontaminate the houses
where these illegal meth labs in Lagos and
Anambra were located.

Other illegal meth labs have been discovered
in 5 locations in Lagos in 4 years(since 2011) and
1 location in Nanka village in Nnewi being
operated by these same criminal syndicates.

People need to be aware that methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, etc, are
punishable by DEATH in serious Asian
countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Pakistan, etc.

Good that Gov. Willie Obiano has been
assisting the NDLEA and other Governors
should be at alert and offer assistance to
curb the menace of hard-drugs intake that
has ruined many young people in the society.

Because NDLEA keeps arresting the drug
pushers and barons at the international
airports and elsewhere, the dealers are now
pushing the hard-drugs such as meth, heroin,
etc, out into the local Nigerian environment
and Nigerians have to beware!

Only in Anambra

My Anambra people, Una do well

But that doesn't change the fact that Anambra is a good place
