The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has reinforced its operation targeting illegal drugs financial businesses in the country.
DLEAG also urged the public to remain vigilant, alert and share information of suspicious drug related activities with the Agency through their various regional command structures or by calling the Agency’s toll-free line (1213).
“The operation is also being reinforced with recent changes in investigative procedures and strategies with special focus and emphasis on targeting the illicit financial flows and proceeds of crime. The more of these major distributors and key players we get off the streets, the safer our communities become for children and youth to grow and attain their full potentials.
“Members of the public are therefore urged to remain vigilant, alert and share information of suspicious drug related activities with the Agency through our various regional command structures or calling the Agency’s toll-free line (1213). In so doing, they will be participating in keeping their communities safe, healthy and secure,” DLEAG said in a statement.
