A fifty- five year old suspected illicit drug trafficker who has been on trail of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency since 2014 has been nabbed.
Mr Charles Ajaoku, who is accused of pushing different forms of drugs and habouring criminals was arrested by the Anambra State Command of the Agency at his hometown, Nimo in Njikoka Local Government Area.
According to the Agency, Mr Ajaoku who is popularly called Mmonwu, has been evading arrest through the help of his gang and has remained a thorn in the flesh of members of his community.
Others arrested include fifty year old Paul Ejiofor who was caught in Abatete, Idemili North Local Government with one-point-four kilogrammes of cannabis sativa, also known as Igbo, twenty eight year old Isaac John arrested at Ekwulobia in Aguata Local Government Area with Six hundred grammes of Cannabis sativa and twenty year old Musa Mohammed, who was also arrested in Amansea in Awka North Local Government Area with eighty grammes of Cannabis sativa.
Mr Ajaoku accepted he peddled drugs, but denied being a drug lord, while blaming frustration as his reason for trafficking illicit drugs.
Another sixteen year old girl Amaka Okafor was arrested at Abagana, Njikoka local Government Area with different quantities of methaphythamine, popularly called “Mkpuru mmiri” hidden in her body while her sister, Chisom was arrested for aiding the crime.
Amaka denied engaging in the business but named her elder cousin, Ada Anazodo as the person who gave her the drugs to hide but escaped through the convenience when she heard the men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency came for her arrest.
While speaking to the Press, the State Commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Mr Sule Momodu, said the agency will continue to make the state inhabitable for all forms and levels of drug peddlers.
