The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has said that a group of drug cartels have abducted an unnamed retired personnel of the agency after officers arrested a 19-year-old female drug dealer, Mngunengen Achir, in Benue State.
The spokesman of the agency, Femi Babafemi, said this on Sunday in Abuja in a statement.
He said that Achir was arrested with 5.5kg Cannabis and 112grams of Diazepam on Wednesday 6 October in Aliade area of the state.
“Other members of the arrested lady’s cartel abducted the retired NDLEA personnel from that community who they assumed was still a serving officer, took him to a forest and demanded the release of the suspect in custody before their victim would be freed,” Babafemi said.
