NDLEA raises alarm over involvement of Housewives in Drug Peddling
The Katsina state command of the NDLEA has expressed concern over the involvement of housewives in drug peddling in new settlements in the katsina metropolitan.
The command also raised concerns over the influx of stolen vehicles from across the country into the state.
The state had witnessed a relative reduction in drug use and trafficking in recent times but the rate of involvement of housewives and youths is still a challenge the authorities must work on.
The command recently intercepted over 7 kg of Indian hemp traced to two housewives who help their spouses to sell to retailers.
The suspects now in the custody of the agency and will be handed over to the police for prosecution.
The command has also been able to secure several convictions of the culprits recently.
This is a success story that is gradually changing the narrative of drug abuse in katsina.
