The Comptroller of the Command, Dr Ben Oramalugo, said that there was proliferation of hard drugs when he resumed at the Command and he started fighting them, making seizures, and making arrests. He added that  there are rich men who are also into this and they were not happy with him.  He said he discovered a route where these drug smugglers usually go through so he sent his men there.
