 The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency and the LA has destroyed seized illicit drugs estimated to be over a billion naira in Asaba, Delta States, as part of the fight against drug abuse. The agency says the destruction is a reflection of the alarming rate of drug trafficking and abuse in society. The action was dedicated to the two-year-old Ivan, Omorre Cogbe, who paid the Supreme Prize in the struggle towards making Delta safe and secure from illicit drugs through drug control activities. Ivan, who died during a raid in Okbanam outskirts of Asaba, was named the hero of drug war in Nigeria. Today's exercise is in compliance with the orders of the federal high courts, mandating the agency to publicly destroy illicit drugs, drug-exhibiting, in respect of cases that have been concluded by the court from 2018 to 2022, and these drugs include cannabis sativa, cocaine, heroin, metafitamine, designer drugs, control and psychotropic substance, and most of others. Record-breaking achievements were made, particularly in supply reduction, which manifested in massive drug seizures across the nation. In the light of this, this destruction exercise represents the successes recorded in our effort to combat the drug manage and safeguard the well-being of the nation. It equally reflects the unacceptable rate of drug trafficking and prevalence of drug abuse in our society.
