In C'River, the NDLEA seizes 2.05 tons of hard drugs and detains 223 individuals.
According to the Cross River headquarters of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), 2.05 tons of hard drugs were taken from drug dealers in the state between January and December.


The revelation was revealed by the state commander, Rachel Umebuali, during a Monday interview in Calabar with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).


The Commander of Narcotics (CN), Umebuali, also revealed that 223 people were detained in relation to the seizure that occurred during the year under review.


The commandant classified the recovered hard substances as cannabis, cocaine, heroin, methamphetemine, and psychotropics, but noted that there were 201 male and 22 female suspects.


She claims that 1.64 tons of cannabis were found, compared to 3.5 grams, 4.3 grams, 81.9 grams, and 410.24 kg of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and psychotropics, respectively.


Umebuali stated that other suspects had been charged in court, but he would not provide precise numbers.


She went on to say that while some of the arrested people were released from custody and found not guilty by the courts, the command resulted in the conviction of some of the accused.


The commander in charge of drugs, lamenting the increase in drug usage cases among young people, named cars and motorcycles as the peddlers' primary means of transportation.


She claimed that despite a few clear difficulties, the command managed to achieve enormous success in the previous year.


She states that we aim to improve on this performance in the upcoming year, aside from the seizure and arrests made in the previous year.


"Cultism and communal crises, difficult and poor roads, particularly during the rainy season, are the main obstacles to our operations.
