” 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)
