“The seizures highlight the daunting challenges anti-narcotic agencies face in their quest to abate drugs and related activities. It also shows the adamance of illicit drug traffickers and their associates to fill our streets and communities with their illicit products despite being aware of the harm it causes to people and the danger it poses to society. Therefore, we must collectively work together in abating this menace and keeping our communities safe, secure, and drug-free. ”
“We use this opportunity to call on residents of the country, particularly those living around the border areas to remain vigilant, and alert and report suspicious activities to law enforcement operatives. In doing so, we will help keep ourselves, our families, and societies healthy, safe, and drug-free.”
