06 May Bayelsa Monarch, Community Leaders Raid Sales Spots
Traditional Ruler of the Okpoama community in Brass Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, the Amayanabo of Okpoama Kingdom, King Emmanuel Ebitimi Banigo, has sanctioned the raid on spots used by drug peddlers.
The monarch also approved the flogging of boys indecently dressed in the community in order to bring sanity to the community.
The community youths and chiefs led by the Chairman of the Chiefs Council, Chief
Inikio Sam Sele-Dede, while carrying out the directives of the monarch, demolished 14 drug peddling points and seize illicit drugs suspected to be cannabis popularly known as India Hemp, benzos, cocaine, LSD and codeine found in such spots.
It was gathered that the decision to move against the illicit drug spots in the community was provoked by the rising use of drug by youths in the community with unprovoked tendencies for violence and indecent dressing.
The raid, which was carried out in the early hours of last Sunday, was welcomed by jubilation among the community folks who joined the team to effect the demolition of the illicit drug spots.
