The traditional ruler of Koje community in Nasarawa Eggon Local Government Area of Nasarawa state, Mr. Samuel Agu was on Friday arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA for growing and harvesting twelve kilograms of Indian hemp in his farm.

The Commander of the NDLEA in Nasarawa State, Mr Sumaila Ethan while parading the suspect in Lafia, the state capital said :

“On March 4, 2016, we arrested Mr. Samuel Agu, the village head with bags of cannabis sativa weighing about12 kg.

“The village head confessed that he had been getting the supply of the cannabis seeds from a Fulani herdsman, the weed seized from him was the remnant of what he harvested from his farm.

“The village head, who is expected to live an exemplary life style that is worthy of emulation, was the same person selling cannabis for consumption.

“It is pertinent to alert the people of the state and the whole world that, there is an alarming increase in the activities of illicit barons in the state particularly those entrusted with positions of leadership in our rural communities.”

He added that so far this year, 28 suspects have been arrested with 460 kg of hard drugs confiscated from them.
