The Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, (NSCDC), Ekiti State Command, has arrested one Akpan Ndatai, with over 500kg of cannabis sativa.
Dr Paul Sosina, the commandant, while parading the suspect at the command, said efforts were on to apprehend the fleeing suspects.
The commandant said the plantation is between Ikere, Ilawe and spreads to another neighboring town in a ten-hectare plantation farm.
He added that the suspects had a habitable camp where the processed cannabis sativa were preserved with another large expanse of land for fresh cannabis cultivation.
He gave the assurance that the command would not relent on her oars to make sure that drug-propelled criminal activities were suppressed in the state.
The commandant urged farm owners to be careful of those that are using their heritage for illegal activities as the command will not spare landowners who are found guilty when investigating illegal usage of land resources.
