According to the State Commandant, Mr Sam Egbeola, in a statement he sent to DAILY POST in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, the car, which was coming from Abeokuta in Ogun State was said to be heading to Kano before it was intercepted.
Egbeola stressed that the move to rid the state of such dangerous substance was borne out of the need to sanitize the political system against the coming House of Assembly election in the state. He said “, In continuation of our mop-up operations for a drug-free election period, the command today intercepted a car loaded with 104 compressed cannabis sativa totalling 88.6kg.
” The car was intercepted along Ife /ilesa express road on his way from Abeokuta to kano, and a suspect was arrested.“It is indeed the resolve of our command to sustain this tempo of operation throughout the election and beyond to guarantee a drug free environment in the state”. The Commandant, therefore, enjoined parents in the state to monitor their wards and counsel them against drug abuse as a way of curbing social vices in the society, adding that majority of social menace were caused by abuse of drug amongst youths.
