In a decisive move aligned with the directive of Governor Mai Mala Buni, to eradicate drug abuse and related social vices across Yobe State, the Executive Chairman of Damaturu Local Government, Alhaji Bukar Adamu, has led a coordinated clampdown on notorious drug hotspots and brothels within the state capital and its environs.

Focal Person, Digital and Strategic Communications to Yobe State Government, Yusuf Ali, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.

He said acting on credible intelligence and in collaboration with security agencies, the enforcement team, including officers of the Nigeria Police Force, Department of Security Services and National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, stormed several notorious areas for the abuse and trafficking of illicit substances, including Zango, YBC, Bakin Kasuwa, Maduri, and Daki Goma.

Ali added that the operation led to the arrest of multiple suspects found in possession of suspected illicit drugs and substances.

According to the statement, the Executive Chairman, Alhaji Bukar Adamu, noted that the operation is part of a broader mission to dismantle identified enclaves that harbor criminal activities, especially the sale and open consumption of prohibited and controlled drugs.

“This effort is in strict compliance with the directive of Governor Mai Mala Buni, who has declared zero tolerance for drug abuse and charged local government authorities and traditional institutions to act swiftly in addressing this growing menace,” Adamu stated.

The Drug Law Enforcement Agency, in a statement, confirmed that several joints and drug hubs were raided during the operation.

It said the arrests mark the beginning of a sustained effort to rid Damaturu of drug-related crimes and restore social order.

“We are targeting both the supply and consumption chains of illicit drugs.

“Low-level dealers and users will be brought to justice, and we will continue to expand our surveillance and enforcement activities throughout the week,” the agency said.
