He said the command was also involved in a series
of lectures to create awareness in the area of use of
firearms and terrorism prevention.
Momodu expressed appreciation to Governor Willie
Obiano for approving a parcel of land and N60
million for the NDLEA to construct a modern
rehabilitation centre in Awka.
"Under Obiano, the NDLEA in 2014 was enlisted into
the membership of Security Council of the state and
a member of the Joint Security Task Force.
"The command fared well during the period but will
fare better this year with a mandate of reducing the
availability of drugs in the streets of Anambra to the
barest minimum," he said.
