The
Joint Task Force, JTF, in Borno State, on Wednesday, said it arrested Pastor
Moses Edon of the Celestial Church of Christ, at the House of Assembly Quarters
in Maiduguri, with 124 bags of Indian Hemp.
JTF
in a statement made available to DailyPost said the alleged Indian Hemp dealer
was arrested based on information and intelligence.
JTF
said its raid of the church at about 9.30 a.m on 10th July, 2013, led to the
discovery and seizure of 124 bags of weeds suspected to be Indian Hemp parked
in 3 rooms at the premises of the church.
“The
suspect who is a pastor of the church, one Moses Edon admitted knowledge of the
content of the bags and confessed that the Indian Hemp was brought for safe
keeping from Ondo by a member of the church, one Mr Segun Oni.” JTF said.
According
to JTF, preliminary investigation revealed that the church had not been active
for sometime now, adding that it was being used for safe haven where Indian
Hemp “partners in business” distribute the products to their customers in
Maiduguri and environs.
The
JTF also called on members of the public that there was a correlation between
illicit drugs and crimes in the state.
It
requested citizens to report the presence of dealers of such products to
security agencies.
