“The NDLEA Command here in Kogi has commenced and intensified raids across the state, particularly at drug joints and spots.

“So far, 24 suspects have successfully been arrested at different locations with various quantities of drugs and psychotropic substances.

“We want to sound a serious warning to both drug dealers and users that we shall continue to focus our flash lights on all nooks and crannies of the state to rid it of their Nefarious activities, ” he warned.

He maintained that there would be no hiding place for drug traffickers in the state and so asked them to either stop, relocate or get caught by the arm of the law.
