Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Imo State Police Command has paraded two persons, Uchechukwu Nwaguma, 28, and Onyekosi Chukwu Ebuka, 35, as suspected drug traffickers who specialise in selling different kinds of illicit drugs.<\/p>\n

According to a statement from the Public Relations Officer of the command, ASP Henry Okoye, the arrest of the suspected drug pushers was carried out by the operatives of the command\u2019s anti-narcotics unit in different locations through painstaking investigations.<\/p>\n

He stated that Uchechukwu Nwaguma was arrested on July 17, 2024, at Caroline Hostel, Okwu Uratta, Owerri, with large quantities of weeds suspected to be Canadian Loud, a substance the police spokesperson said to be an imported strong synthetic strain of cannabis, and hard drugs commonly known as molly or happy pills.<\/p>\n

According to ASP Okoye: \u201cThe suspect, upon interrogation, confessed to the crime, stating that his parents were late and that he moved into the sale of hard drugs to enable him to take care of himself and his siblings.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another successful operation by the operatives of the command\u2019s anti-vice unit on the same day, Onyekosi Chukwu Ebuka of Uloano in Isu LGA of Imo State was arrested for unlawful possession of weeds suspected to be Indian hemp. He was arrested following a tip-off received from a concerned citizen.<\/p>\n

The police spokesperson in the statement further informed that the suspects will face prosecution upon completion of a diligent investigation.<\/p>\n

Following the development, Commissioner of Police Aboki Danjuma has reaffirmed the command\u2019s dedication to clamping down on illicit drug dealers and peddlers in the state.<\/p>\n

He implored parents to caution their children against indulging in the intake or sale of hard drugs or illicit substances, warning that violators will face severe legal consequences.<\/p>\n
