“Meanwhile, operatives of the Kogi state command of the agency also destroyed five hectares of cannabis farms at Agbonkete, Iyaya Camp, Igalamela/Odolu Local Government , where a suspect, Augustine Agbenyo, 34, was arrested with three sacks of both fresh and dried leaves and stems of the illicit substance.

‘A search of their vehicle, an ash-colored Toyota Corolla car with registration number JMT 146 TE (Adamawa), revealed 39, 320 tablets of Tramadol 225mg concealed in different compartments of the doors of the car.

” Preliminary investigation shows the trans-border traffickers took off from Onitsha in Anambra State and traveled to Jimeta, Adamawa State where they lodged in the hotel before heading to Belel, a town along the Nigerian – Cameroon border where they would repackage the drugs as ordinary consumables and ferry across the river to Garoa in Cameroon.

He charged them to remain steadfast and upright at all times. (vitalnewsngr.com)
