According to the Commander, the drugs included Cannabis sativa, codeine, methamphetamine, Exol-5, diazepam, tramadol, and pentazocine, among others.

Many of the suspects, he said, had already been charged to court.

He said the command recorded three convictions during the period under review and counseled several drug users, some of whom were integrated into society.

The Commander warned drug dealers not to stay away from Kogi because the consequences would be not be palatable for them.

” It is either they stop or the long arms of the law will definitely catch up with them,” he said.

Fakai-Abdullahi said that the drug war was a task that should not be left in the hands of the agency alone.

“The general public must co-operate, support and provide useful information that will help us to get to the traffickers and users.

“All hands must be on deck since the Agency cannot do it alone.

“Everyone must give us a helping hand, ” he said.
