The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has destroyed a total of 16,142 kilogrammes of seized illicit drugs in Bauchi State.
The seized drugs include Tramadol, Rohypnol, Diazepam, Exol-5, Cannabis Sativa and Cough syrups with codeine.
Speaking at the public destruction of the exhibits at a briefing held at Gida Daya Dungal Village, along Bauchi-Jos road on Thursday, the Chairman and Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Col. Muhammad Abdallah, said that it was frightening that such quantity of drugs could be seized compared to the population of the state.
“The rampancy of drug abuse among youth and women is worrisome. While these drugs may appear less injurious, they are as harmful as cocaine and cannabis sativa.”
