The Kogi State Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), has arrested 90 suspected drug dealers in the last six months.
The agency also revealed that it has seized a total of 1,699.2kg within the period.
The Commander, Alhaji Abdulkadir Fakai-Abdullahi made the disclosure in a press briefing to mark a week-long celebration of the UN International Day Against Drug Abuse and Trafficking.
He said that the assorted drugs included Cannabis sativa, codeine, Methamphetamine, Exol-5, Diazepam, tramadol, Pentazocine, among others.
He added that many of the suspects had already been charged to court.
Fakai-Abdullahi said that the command had recorded three convictions within the period under review and counseled several drug users some of which were integrated into the society.
He warned drug dealers against venturing into Kogi as the consequences would be dire.
“It is either they stop or the long arms of the law will definitely catch up with them.
“The general public must cooperate, support and provide useful information that will help us to get to the traffickers and users.
“All hands must be on deck since the Agency cannot do it alone. Everyone must give us a helping hand,” he said.
