The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says its operatives have raided a “drug” party at an apartment in Sun City estate, Abuja.

 

The anti-graft agency said the party was dubbed ‘Go Hard or Go Home: Pick Your Poison’.

 

Femi Babafemi, NDLEA spokesperson, said 60 suspects were arrested at the party which took place on Friday.

 

Babafemi said 20 of the suspects tested negative to illicit drugs while 33 others tested positive.

 

The NDLEA spokesperson said Buba Marwa, NDLEA chairman, directed that the suspects who tested negative be released unconditionally while those who tested positive should be released on bail and report for counselling on Monday.

 

“In Abuja, NDLEA operatives on Friday night disrupted a drug party dubbed “Go hard or Go Home. Pick Your Poison”, where sixty (60) suspects comprising 25 males and 35 females were arrested at an apartment in Sun City estate in the Federal Capital Territory,” Babafemi said in a statement on Sunday.

 

“The raid followed credible intelligence about the drug party organised by one Stanley Ikechukwu who was arrested at the venue.

 

“At least six of the suspects: Victoria Adoga; Hamza Yari; Joanne Essein Joy; Socchima Valentine; Jago Imole; and Charles Indobuibisi, were arrested with different quantities of ecstasy and cannabis.”
