He called on members of the public to cooperate with the agency by always giving useful information that would lead to the arrest of anyone involved in India hemp plantations.
“We are appealing to the people of the state to always give relevant information on plantations, especially cannabis plantations to the NDLEA.
“Our office is always open, so people can help us with information at anytime so we can all work together in ensuring a drug free state.
