The Kogi state police command has dismissed three of its officers for their alleged involvement in the trafficking of 30 bags of weeds suspected to be Indian hemp.
Willaim Aya, the command’s public relations officer, who confirmed this on Wednesday, said the officers have been handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency ( NDLEA) for prosecution.
According to him, the officers were dismissed after they were found guilty in a board room trial conducted by the police.
He said their dismissal followed due process.
