The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has conducted a raid on a “drug party” in Abuja and arrested 60 individuals.
In a statement, NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi revealed that the event took place on Friday and was named “Go Hard or Go Home, Pick Your Poison.”
“The suspects comprised 25 males and 35 females; they were arrested at an apartment in Sun City estate in the Federal Capital Territory,” he said.
Babafemi mentioned that the raid was based on credible intelligence regarding the drug party organized by one Stanley Ikechukwu, who was also apprehended at the scene.
“Six of the suspects – Victoria Adoga, Hamza Yari, Joanne Essein, Socchima Valentine, Jago Imole, and Charles Indobuisi – were arrested with different quantities of ecstasy and cannabis.
“The NDLEA chairman, retired Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa has directed that 20 of the suspects who tested negative for drugs be released unconditionally.
“Thirty-three others, who tested positive for illicit drugs, were to be released on bail and will report at the FCT Command of the agency on Monday to begin treatment and counselling,” he said.
