Meanwhile, the Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang and the Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Mohamed Marwa, have agreed to strengthen the collaboration between the state government and the Agency.

The duo expressed their commitment towards a renewed partnership when the governor paid a courtesy visit at the Agency’s National Headquarters in Abuja.

Speaking during the visit, Marwa disclosed that a total of 6,975.6 kilograms of illicit drugs such as Cocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamine, Cannabis and Opioids were seized across the state in the last two years, leading to the arrest of 1,720 suspects and conviction of 156 while the trial of others are ongoing.

Commending the governor for his commitment to ensuring peace, security of lives and property on the Plateau, the NDLEA boss further urged Mutfwang to support the Agency with a standard rehabilitation centre, activate drug control committees at the state, local government and community levels.

He appealed to the governor to also adopt drug testing policy in schools, homes and communities across the state.
