The Imo State Police Command yesterday paraded three undergraduates 
of the North American University based in Cotonou, Republic of Benin and
 two others for being in possession of substances suspected to be hard 
drugs.<br />
<br />

The suspects, who smuggled the narcotics neatly wrapped with plastic 
tapes, were apprehended when they were about to sell the drugs at Nekede
 in Owerri West Local Government Area.<br />
<br />

The command also recovered 33 stolen vehicles and 12 motorcycles in 
the last two months. The state Commissioner of Police, Mr Mohammed Musa 
Katsina, said that the university undergraduates were arrested with nine
 compressed parcels suspected to be hard drugs by the command’s Ambush 
Squad following a tip off.<br />
<br />

According to him, the suspects identified as Ola Abdulgafaru, 22, and
 Henry Tochukwu, 22, are 200 Level students of North America University.<br />
<br />

They live at 3rd Avenue Gwarimpa, Estate in the Federal Capital 
Territory (FCT) and are natives of Biniyo community in Eti -Osa Local 
Government Area of Lagos State and Umuime community in Ubakala, Umuahia 
South Local Government Area of Abia State. Adewale Fuhad, 24, is a 
native of Odogbolu in Ogun State and a 300 Level student of Crescent 
University, Abeokuta.<br />
<br />

The two other suspects, Okechukwu Nwosu, 32, and his brother Ndidi 
Nwosu 28, are distributors of the hard drugs and they hail from Egbela 
Umujechi in Umuekwuene, Ngor Okpala Local Government Area of Imo State.<br />
<br />

The police chief, however, expressed the alarm at the rate at which 
illegal substances are consumed by miscreants, adding that the North 
American students were arrested as they were on their way to link up 
with their accomplices (distributors.)<br />
<br />

He said: “The rate at which these dangerous drugs are peddled and 
consumed by these miscreants is alarming, but it explains why they are 
undeterred vicious and unrepentant in their deadly mission.”<br />

Katsina promised to intensify the campaign against criminal 
activities. He asked members of the public to come forth with proof of 
ownership to collect the recovered vehicles.<br />
