The new commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Ogun, Archie -Abia Ibinabo, has reiterated her commitment to the fight against drug abuse and trafficking.

Ms Ibinabo disclosed this in an interview on Friday in Ota, Ogun.

She said, ”Nothing would make me give up the campaign against drug abuse and trafficking in order to reduce the crime rate in the state. Most of the crimes perpetuated in the state were fuelled by intake of drugs by the miscreants.”

Ms Ibinabo solicited the support of the public to rid the state of criminals.

“The fight against drug abuse and trafficking requires that all hands must be on deck as the NDLEA alone cannot address the menace,” the NDLEA commander added. “In addition, people with useful information that could lead to the arrest of criminals dealing in drugs should not keep such evidence away from the agency.” 

She advised youths to shun drug abuse and other related offences to achieve their goals.
