“All the drugs in his possession are controlled drugs and he doesn’t have the qualification or licence to sell these controlled drugs.''
She said the accused had been charged to court and that the agency would press for his imprisonment 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.
She appealed to the general public to support the NDLEA with useful information that would lead to the arrest and prosecution of more drug traffickers operating in the state.
