This was disclosed on Tuesday by the Benue NDLEA Public Relations Officer, Philimon Saror during a sensitisation lecture in Makurdi. He lamented that demand for illicit drug consumption in the state remained high which necessitated the sensitisation lectures by the command. Saor said the increase in demand for illicit substances in the state was a result of the younger ones joining the queue of drug consumption on a daily basis.
