Anambra NDLEA prosecutes over 30 offenders annually
Anambra State Command of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA has revealed its determination to always prosecute drug offenders to ensure drug addiction free society.
This was disclosed during a courtesy call on the Anambra State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Anali Chude, at his office in Awka, Anambra state.
The Commander of the Agency, Mr Sule Momodu stated that the agency had recorded tremendous successes in eliminating the distributive aspect of illicit drugs in the State, adding that over 30 drug offenders were prosecuted annually.
He noted that “because of the state government’s support, we have been able to arrest and successfully prosecute up to 30 offenders annually. We have also impacted positively in routing out criminals and criminal minded elements in the State.”
The Commander commended governor Obiano for his numerous support and provision of security apparatus that had assisted them in eliminating criminals and drug dealers.
Mr Sule observed that one of the challenges the agency had was lack of resources for the development of a rehabilitation centre, as the state government had earlier allocated to the agency a parcel of Land for the purpose of building a rehab facility.
Responding, the State Attorney General, Mr Anali Chude confirmed that the ministry and the agency had been maintaining cordial relationship and working together to ensure the rid of all bad elements and drug related offences.
