The Katsina State command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says it has apprehended 443 suspected illicit drug peddlers and prosecuted 23 others this year.

 

The state commander of the agency, Mrs. Maryam Gambo Sani, stated this while briefing newsmen in an event to mark the United Nations (UN) Anti-drug Day.

Sani also said 110 drug-related cases were at different stages of trial at the federal High Court in the state.He also said the agency  apprehended 21 students and several children under age 13 with total of 128 bottles of cough syrup with codeine within the same period.

 

Meanwhile,the Kwara State commander of the NDLEA, Ona Ogilegwu, says 134 suspects were arrested in the last 12 months, while 18 of them were successfully prosecuted and jailed. He said the feat though was lower than that of last year is primarily because of the determination of his men at work.
