“She is presently undergoing investigation at the Rivers State Command headquarters.

“The State Commander, Comdr Ahmed Mamuda, has restated our earlier warning to all drug dealers to desist from it because we will surely fish them out, particularly as the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA Brig. Gen Buba Marwa (retd.) has charged us to go on offensive action against all drug dealers.

“We also want to use this medium to call on the public to give us credible information that will enable us to sanitize the society of hard drugs.

” We call on drug users to seek help now before it is too late.”
