The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says it will not allow hoodlums to upstage government in the South-east geopolitical zone of the country.
The Public Relations Officer of NDLEA in Rivers State, Emmanuel Ogbumgbada told our correspondent that his agency is in serious collaboration with other security agencies to make sure the insecurity in the South-east is brought under control.
“No matter what, we will not allow hoodlums in the South-east to upstage the government.
“We are in serious collaboration with other security agencies to contain the insecurity atmosphere in the South-east, “he said.
The state NDLEA spokesman further explained that though drug intake may have been influencing the behaviour of the hoodlums to unleash terror on the zone but the root cause of the insecurity there is political agitation.
Some security experts have advised the federal government to reverse its proscription order on the Ingenious People of Biafra (IPOB), which the federal government has not hearkened to.
