NDLEA discovers 600 acres of hemp farm in Ekiti

The National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency on Friday discovered a 600-acre
hemp farm at Ode Ekiti in the Gbonyin
Local Government Area of Ekiti.
The Commandant of the NDLEA in Ekiti,
Mr Dele Akingbade, told the News Agency
of Nigeria in Ado Ekiti that the hemp farm
was the largest individually-owned hemp
farm in the state.
Akingbade said the cost of the hemp farm
was too huge to be determined
immediately.
He described the discovery of the farm as
one of the “biggest feats” of the agency in
the state.
Akingbade said the agency made the
discovery on a vast expanse of land on
July 24.
According to him, the discovery follows a
tip-off by concerned members of the
public.
