According to him: “Many youth today are languishing in prisons for trafficking in illicit drugs, while several of our young ones are engaged in various social crimes, like armed robbery, rape and other crimes,” he said.
He called on the public and other security agencies to support his agency in its war against illicit drugs business within and outside the country.
