Youths in Adamawa have been reported by the
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to
have turned to human urine, dry plantain leaves and
burnt tyres as substances for intoxication
- The NDLEA said that because suspects involved in
the act use motorcycles to sell the substaces, arresting
them is very difficult
- Yakubu Kibo, the command of the agency in the state
called for joint effort of the public to curb the crime
According to the news from the (NDLEA)
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency
(NDLEA) command in Adamawa has cried out
over some youths in the state who now use
human urine for intoxication.
NDLEA's commander in Katsina state, Maryam
Sani, had said that suspected drug dealers no
longer stay in the shops, but use their
motorcycles and cars to sell drug, making it
difficult for the command to arrest them,
Vanguard reports.
Moreover, the Adamawa state commander of the
agency, Yakubu Kibo, speaking in Yola, said
other new items abused include dry pawpaw
leaves, dry plantain leaves, burnt tyres, as well
as a solution made from candies and beverages.
Kibo said: “It is important for parents to know and pay
attention to the recently discovered substances of abuse like
dry paw paw leaves, tom tom in lacasera drink, 10 days old
human urine, methylated, spirit in coke drink, dry plantain
leaves, burnt tyres among others.”
Kibo appealed for joint effort to create a drug
free society. He said: “For the drug war to be
successful, the supply and demand reduction must go hand
in hand.
“To that effect, since January, the Adamawa Command has
seized 2,742.358 kg of assorted illicit drug.” Katsina state
commander, Maryam Sani, raising alarm over
new method devised by suspects to outwit the
agency, remarked: "The suspects have gone mobile, with
the sellers not stationed in a place or shop.
“They now use their motorcycles and cars to sell the illicit
drug which now make it difficult to apprehend them. But we
would not relent as they are devising other means we would
also be coming up with strategies to ensure that the menace
is reduced to the barest minimum.”
Garba Ahmadu, the NDLEA commander, Murtala
Muhammed Airport command, gave the warning
at an event to mark the "UN International Day
against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking” in
Lagos.
Ahmadu said that the quantity of Tramadol
coming into the country was of high volume
because traffickers were bringing a lot of it,
apart from other pills such as Methamphetamine
and Ephedrine.
