The 35 Artillery Brigade of the Nigerian Army in Abeokuta has turned over 176kg of Indian hemp to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA). Lt. Mohammed Goni, the brigade’s spokesperson, announced this development on Saturday, indicating that the garrison commander, Col. Legborsi Nule, represented by Brig.-Gen. Mohammed Aminu, handed over the confiscated contraband to the anti-narcotics agency.
The incident involved the apprehension of one Fatai Bankole (25) by the army on January 6. Bankole was found in possession of the illicit substance during a patrol along the Imeko-Abeokuta Road in Ogun State.
Gobi quoted Nule as saying, “The army will continue to sustain efforts at collaborating with security agencies to rid the state of crimes and all forms of criminality.”
He restated the brigade’s commitment to ensuring that troops maintained high standards and professionalism at all times in discharging their duties.
The NDLEA Commandant in Ogun, Mrs Jane Odili, who received the drugs and the suspect, commended the effort of the brigade and solicited more collaboration with the Nigerian Army and other security agencies.
