The
Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency has said it is keeping tabs on
more celebrities in Nollywood and the music industry for drug
trafficking, abuse and links with drug cartels.
The
agency said the move became necessary, following its investigation
into the activities of controversial actress and singer, Tonto
Dikeh, for possible consumption of hard drugs.
Dikeh
had on June 28, 2013, posted photographs of a wrap of hemp and grains
of the weed formed
into the letters, ‘Happy birthday POKO.
She
also posted a photograph of herself with the inscription, ‘Mi smoke
ganja mi smoke weed while my haterz smoke ma gossip.’
In
an interview with our correspondent on Friday, the Head, Public
Affairs, NDLEA, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, saidthat Nollywood stars had
been prosecuted for drug-related offences.
He
said, “We are beaming our searchlight on more celebrities with
regard to drug trafficking and abuse.
Some
Nigerian Celebrities have being caught with drugs, so this shouldn't
come a as surprise.
