The Ebonyi State Command of the Ebubeagu security outfit has arrested 12-man suspected drug syndicate who specialised in the distribution of hard drugs such as methamphetamine, popularly known as mkpurummiri. Parading the suspects on Thursday at the command’s office in Abakaliki, security consultant, Stanley Okoro-emegha, said the security outfit stormed the hideout of the syndicate and arrested 12 of them while others escaped.

He condemned consumption of the illicit hard drug by youths and urged members of the public to avail the security outfit useful information that will lead to the arrest of the remaining members of the syndicate. He noted that a lot of criminal activities perpetrated by hoodlums could be attributed to the consumption of hard and illicit drugs. He disclosed that apart from hard drugs and other substances recovered from the suspects, live ammunition and other dangerous weapons were also recovered from them.
