Kano – The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says it arrested 352 suspects and seized 2.1 tonnes of illicit drugs in Kano State from January to March this year.

Mr Abubakar Idris-Ahmad, the NDLEA Commander in the state, disclosed this on Thursday while speaking with newsmen.

Idris-Ahmad said that the seizures and arrests were made between January and March.

He said that the suspects arrested comprised of 208 males and 44 females, while the drugs seized included 955.304 kg of cannabis sativa and 1,225.05 kg of Codeine and Tramadol.

Others according to him, were 25 grammes of cocaine, 17 grammes of heroin and 52 grammes of methamphetamine.

The commander said that the major challenge before the agency in the state was convincing communities to expose peddlers of illicit drugs in their midst.

“Our challenge is being able to educate the communities to provide useful information about the hideouts of drug users or peddlers whose activities had continued to impact negatively on the society.

“People should be aware of the dangers that drug users or traffickers constitute in society so that the public will come out with useful information to ensure a drug-free society,” Idris-Ahmad said.

He, therefore, appealed to the general public to provide useful and timely information on drug traffickers to the command, so as to take them out of circulation and safeguard society. (NAN/vitalnewsngr.com)
