Speaking during the public destruction of the drugs exhibits at the Command Office in Aba, the Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA Col. Muhammad Mustapha Abdullah be (Rtd.) said the Agency is elated that this quantity of drugs was intercepted and not allowed into circulation because the havoc it would have wrecked on the people of the state is better imagined than experienced .

He maintained that, Drugs like Poison need not to be in Large volumes before doing incalculable damage, he noted that the society must do everything to ensure that the entrepreneurial heritage of Abia people don’t come under the threat of drugs abuse and illicit trafficking of Drugs.

The NDLEA Boss, said the proliferation of clandestine laboratories for the manufacturing of Methamphetamine is worrisome to the Agency, he noted that, methamphetamine laboratories are becoming common place and not all the poisonous substances that are produced locally are exported; this has led to the emergence of local market for Methamphetamine thereby leading to the abuse of of the dangerous substances by the youths.
