According to him, in the year under review, the command seized over 1,038,248 kg of various illicit drugs and substances during various operations and motorised patrols across the state.

He also said the state command had counselled eight males in its rehabilitation facility while the number of persons who used drugs referred for brief counselling from the investigation unit were 218.

Ekere who stressed the importance of the rehabilitation facility, however, said the command could not bear the cost of running the facility alone.

He urged the state government to provide financial support in maintaining the facility.

He commended the support and cooperation of stakeholders, Non-Governmental Organisations and Office of the First Lady of Gombe State in the fight against drug abuse in the state.

Ekere said that without their support, the command would not have recorded the success it did.
