The FCT NDLEA commander underlined the persistence of these operations until drug peddlers are eradicated from the business landscape in the Federal Capital Territory.

This undertaking aligns with the agency’s strategic blueprint for curtailing drug supply and demand in the area.

Tsakuwa confirmed the establishment of strategic outposts across the territory to facilitate sustained clampdowns, especially in recognized drug-prone localities such as Wuse Zone 4, Area 1 Park, Torabora, Banex, Apo mechanic village, Gwarinpa, Jabi, and Karu Abattoir.
