Mr Haruna Kwetishe, the NLDEA commander in the state, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Minna on Tuesday that such politicians would be arrested and prosecuted.
He said, “We will monitor all campaign gatherings and go after any leader found distributing hard drugs to the youths during political rallies.
“We will not tolerate any form of political violence and thuggery during and after campaigns.
“We will ensure the arrest and prosecution of any person or group found distributing hard drugs to youths at any of the political gatherings in the state.”
The NDLEA commander also cautioned the youths against taking hard drugs, saying apart from their negative effects to their health and future, they also stood the risk of going to jail. (NAN)
