The National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) arrested no fewer than 181 suspected drug dealers in the last five months in Ogun State.

 

The agency also recovered three pistols during its raid of different drug joints in the State.

 

The Ogun State Commander of the NDLEA, Ibiba Odili, made this disclosure in Abeokuta in commemoration of the 2023 United Nation’s International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Drug Trafficking, themed, ‘People First: Stop Stigma, and Discrimination, Strengthen Prevention’.

 

Odili maintained that the NDLEA had taken the fight to the doorsteps of drug traffickers through its operations that led to the arrest of suspects, recovery of weapons and seizure of illicit drugs.

 

According to her, the command arrested “181 suspects who comprise 147 male suspects and 34 female suspects from February till date.”

 

She added that three locally-made pistols were recovered during the operations in different parts of Ogun, saying the guns were handed over to the police.
