The FCT Commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Mr Kabir Tsakuwa said the agency will continue to clamp down on all sources of illicit substances in the territory.

Tsakuwa gave the assurance in an interview with reporters on Friday in Abuja.

The Commander noted that the command and other security agencies have been engaging in joint operations to get rid of shanties including black spots known to be notorious for drug dealing in the FCT.

He added that the raids would continue until drug merchants are pushed out of business in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), stressing that it was part of the strategic plan of the agency on drug supply and drug demand reduction.

“There will be sustained raid operations, arrests, investigation, and prosecution of those involved in the sale and consumption of illicit drugs in the territory.

“Continuous intelligence gathering in collaboration with other security agencies will not be left out.
