Reacting, the Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, frowned at the relative rise in drug consumption by the teeming youths and noted that drugs are the oxygen that drive most crimes and bad behaviour exhibited by individuals.
Orutugu also expressed willingness to step up advocacy against illicit drugs through a Police Campaign against Cultism and other vices (POCACOV) a program targeted to sensitize the youths of the dangers of drugs and other vices in the State.
All the suspects shall be transferred to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Awka for further necessary actions, please.
