The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Abeokuta has received 176 kg of Indian hemp from the 35 Artillery Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Abeokuta.

Lt. Mohammed Goni, the brigade’s spokesman, made this announcement in Abeokuta on Saturday while Brig.-Gen. Mohammed Aminu, the Brigade Commander, on behalf of the Garrison Commander, Col. Legborsi Nule, turned over the contraband to the anti-drug agency.

He claims that when he was on patrol along the Imeko-Abeokuta Road in Ogun on January 6, the army detained a 25-year-old man named Fatai Bankole for narcotics possession.
