The National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Ondo State, on Friday in Akure, paraded 24 suspects  for their involvement in selling and using psychotropic substances like Indian hemp, cocaine and tramadol.

NDLEA commander in Ondo State, Mr Kayode Raji, said the suspects, among which is a female, were arrested during raids on black spots in the state during which 15.6kg of psychotropic substance were seized.

He added that the raids became necessary to ensure peace in the state as drug users usually constituted a nuisance to the state.
