The Niger Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says it will go after peddlers of illicit drugs to sanitise the political process before the general elections in February.
Mr Haruna Kwetishe, the NDLEA Commander in the state, made this known on Tuesday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Minna.
“This is to ensure that the elections are conducted peacefully which will result in free, fair credible and transparent elections in the state. He, therefore, warned illicit drug abusers, peddlers and barons, to stay clear of the state as the agency would go tough on them.
