Concerns over Alarming Rate of  Teenage Drug Peddlers in Kubwa, Abuja Suburb

Residents of the Pipeline area of Kubwa, a satellite town in Bwari Area Council of the FCT, have raised alarm over the activities of drug hawkers.

Checks revealed that the most notorious spots include 33 Junction, Mango Tree and Near Transformer.

The dealers, mostly teenagers, were seen boldly marketing all sorts of hard drugs.

Patrick Odion, one of the residents reportedly said he was planning to relocate with his family due to “the nature of the environment”.

“What baffles me is the boldness in these young drug dealers. They feel that what they are doing is legal. They are posing a lot of threats to residents.

“I can’t even send my children to help me get something from a nearby provision store because of the boys always hanging around. I intend to change location because of that”, he said.”

Similarly, a resident identified as, Yusuf Tijani, said: “Just last week, my wife’s phone was snatched at one of the drugs’ spots. Aside from selling drugs, they perpetuate evil. The authorities should please do something about it.

“I understand NDLEA officials raided one of the spots some days ago and made some arrests.”(With additional report by agency)
