“Within same period, the drug supply reduction efforts led to the discovery and destruction of 9.5 hectares of cannabis farms ( 23.759 tonnes of cannabis sativa)  at Ifedayo and Oriade local government areas.” he said.

“The agency had a brief counselling intervention in 79 People Who Use Drug (PWUD) and  embarked on awareness/sensitisation programmes in religious houses, schools, motor parks, markets and workplaces,” he said.

He denied that Osun  was the second highest cannabis-producing state in South West.

The commander thanked the Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency,  Gen. Buba Marwa (retired), and Osun Gov. Ademola Adeleke for efforts to rid the state and the entire Nigeria of substance abuse. (NAN)
