The Edo State Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has destroyed 50 hectares of cannabis plantation across the state.

The spokesman for the command, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, told our correspondent on Friday, that the weed seized and destroyed was valued at N2.9bn.

Ofoyeju said that the farms, which were destroyed between January and December, 2017, would have generated 240,000 kilograms of the substance.

He said that the command also seized 50,000kg of cannabis in different locations, including the Benin metropolis within the period.

In the operations, 240 suspected dealers were arrested.

Ofoyeju said, “The year 2017 has been very eventful for the Edo State Command of the NDLEA. Our officials successfully seized 50,000kg of cannabis in different parts of the state.

“Farms across different local government areas, particularly the government reserved forest, have been invaded by cannabis cultivators.”

According to him, the command recorded the highest seizure of 10,929kg in November, while 90.80kg of cannabis seized in March was the least within the year.

“For us as drug control managers in the state, this is a cause for concern. You can imagine the amount of money we have taken away from drug traffickers.

“And this was the one we were able to take out of illegal circulation. The implication is that it is a huge problem that needs the urgent and active participation of all stakeholders.”

Ofoyeju, however, decried the lack of operational facilities, including vehicles and bed spaces for the rehabilitation of persons with drug abuse disorders.
