The exercise which was carried out in conjunction with the state government had the Commissioner for Forestry, Mr. Taiwo Oludotun and the State Commander of NDLEA, Mrs. Archie- Abia Ibinabo, in attendance.
Mr. Taiwo Oludotun, while speaking, said the state government was determined to eradicate illegal activities, especially planting, harvesting, and marketing of narcotics.
The Commissioner noted that the state government had directed all Baales in the area to take a census of the people living among them and their occupations to ascertain the dwellers with no legitimate means of livelihood.
He hinted that the exercise would be sustained to rid the state of anti-social elements and illegal activities.
The NDLEA commander in a remark said the agency got the intelligence report of the plantation from members of the public which led to setting the farm on fire.
