Nigeria: Court Convicts 20 as NDLEA Destroys Cannabis Farms

Thisdaylive

Saturday 14 Nov 2015

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has secured the conviction of 20 persons for drug related offences in 2015.

The agency had also destroyed over 2,000 cannabis farms within the year and also seized 1,562kgs of substances suspected to be hard drug from cultivators and couriers of the dangerous weed.

In a chat with journalists in Ado Ekiti Friday, the NDLEA Commander in Ekiti, Mr. Suleiman Jadi, said those convicted at the Federal High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti were nabbed at various locations across the State before they were prosecuted.

The NDLEA boss revealed that 17 accused persons were still being remanded in Prison , with assurances that more convictions would be secured before the end of the year.

Jadi added that most disturbing was the fact that available reports had indicated that those barons bankrolling cannabis cultivation in Ekiti reside in Edo, Delta and other South -South States, describing the scenario as worrisome.
