"Today, we arrested one final year student who sells hard drugs suspected to be Indian hemp to students. She was arrested with 69 wraps of drugs and different packets of cigarettes.
"The area where the students and suspects were arrested is highly volatile for kidnapping.
"The university management has issued several warnings to students to shun intake of drugs on campus, but to no avail.
"The students will undergo departmental trial and students' disciplinary committee after we have presented the matter to the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Florence Obi.
"In line with the Vice Chancellor’s directive to sanitise the campus against illicit drugs, cultism and rape, we are determined to make this institution a model for learning, teaching, and character moulding," he said.
