She noted that 44 convictions were recorded during the year and the convicts currently serving various jail terms ranging from six months to 10 years.
Okuwobi stated that the command also seized 4,739.195 kilogrammes of Cannabis Sativa, otherwise known as Indian Hemp, and other illicit substances during the period under review.
She said that the command destroyed two marijuana farms at Ajani village in Ona-Ara and Oluyole local government areas.
She further disclosed that the command had no fewer than 51 people undergoing counselling.
She added that “there is hope for people who use drugs, so parents and loved ones should never give up on them.
