Operatives of the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have
apprehended a notorious drug dealer operating
in the state.
The NDLEA Commander in the state, Dr Ngozi
Madubuike, on Tuesday in Jos said the culprit
identified as Zuma was nabbed with 350.6
kilograms of psychotropic substances.
Madubuike disclosed that Zuma was an ex-
convict, who was sentenced in March to three
years in prison with an option of fine.
She said, “He used to disguise his nefarious act
of peddling controlled drugs, he is also a major
wholesale supplier of these drugs in Plateau.
“All the drugs in his possession are controlled
drugs and he doesn’t have the qualification or
licence to sell these controlled drugs.”
The State NDLEA Commander stated that the
suspect has been charged to court, adding that
the agency would ensure he is jailed so as to
save the youths from his alleged nefarious
activities.
“This time around, we hope he will not be given
an option of fine, because he is a second time
offender.
“We want to ensure that he desists from these
illicit drug activities which is ravaging the
youths of the state,” Madubuike said.
