More drug peddlers nabbed, as Palace intensifies effort to rid Asaba of illicit drug dealers.
Earlier today, security officials continued the raid on illicit drugs bunks in Asaba, in line with the resolve of HRM, Asagba Prof. Epiphany Chigbogu Azinge SAN OON, to make sure the prevalence of drug abuse amongst Asaba youths is nipped in the bud.
Recall that earlier in the week, some drug infested areas such as Umuekwo and Mami Market were raided, were a sizeable number of drug users were arrested and are presently in the custody of security officials.
However, today's raid had a more appreciable impact as a number of drug markerters were apprehended in their operational bases with substances they confessed to be co**in. These drug marketers were nabbed at Umunkwo, Uda Layout and Cable Point and are presently in the custody of security officials ,who have their exhibits.
We thank well-spirited Umu Ahaba who have shown solidarity towards the drive to tackle the menace of illicit drugs in Asaba. Let's be rest assured that our fears about getting to the major dealers have not gone unnoticed. Its a security issue and we are doing all we can to manage information, so that at the end, it will be goodbye to drug business in Asaba.
We will appreciate any information that we can get from the public to make this drive fruitful.
Let's be rest assured that your identities are safe, as what is more important to us now,is to either get the dealers to stop or flee.
