They also agreed that all criminalities and societal ills raving Nigeria are linked to sales and consumption of hard drugs and illicit substances.
In addition, they observed that production and importation of substandard drugs in Nigeria are major causes of high mortality rate, morbidity, and loss of public confidence in the health sector.
Deputy State Commander, NDLEA, Anambra State, in charge of Operations and Intelligence, Adewumi Alfred, said the proliferation, consumption, and abuse of illicit drugs are high in Nigeria, adding that recent report revealed that about 70 per cent of all the drugs in the market are fake. He said: “In every ten drugs you buy, there is a high probability that seven of them are fake. If that is not alarming, I don’t know what can be alarming in Nigeria, there is also a further research work that shows that in the South East, the number of deaths as a result of fake drugs is escalating.”
