By EZEKIEL OBI, Abuja –
Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), have uncovered a hotel in Abuja where drugs are allegedly sold and young ladies camped for commercial sex.
The NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, who disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday, said four persons; three ladies and a man were arrested when the said drug joint, JAT Suites, located at 30 Lobito Crescent, Wuse 2 was raided.
Mr. Femi noted that some quantities of Rohypnol and paraphernalia – for smoking crack cocaine – were recovered on Wednesday 22nd September, 2021.
The NDLEA spokesman explained that investigations reveal that the hotel is operated without requisite approvals in a high profile neighborhood and patronised by call girls while the bar serves as the spot to smoke and sell drugs to the young girls and their customers.
Reacting to the raid, the Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa directed the FCT Command and the Directorate of Assets and Financial Investigations of the agency to do all within the law to ensure the property is forfeited to the Federal Government to serve as a deterrent to others who allow their premises to be used for drug dealing.
