Anti-drug war tough in Rivers, says NDLEA By Akanimo Sampson Bureau Chief, Port Harcourt   Anti-narcotic war in Rivers State is proving to be a tough one, the  National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), has said. The anti-narcotic agency, however, said it has reduced the ranking of the state as the nation’s second highest drug haven. According to the NDLEA, the drug war is as tough in the Abonnema Wharf and Diobu areas of Port Harcourt, as it was in Columbia, a Latin American country.  Sources within the NDLEA told Daily Independent that the narcotic drug rings in those areas of the state capital were linked to some of the dreaded cult/militia groups. The Commander of the NDLEA in the state, Mr. Nicolas Walter Salu, while confirming the development, said the battle has been very problematic.  “The fight is not only against drug offenders, but against cult members who see drug abuse as a way of life,” he said.         Copyright� 2002.
