During the briefing, the commandant further highlighted that Sokoto has a historical association with marijuana cultivation.
However, with the recent developments, the state is making efforts to establish itself as one of the identified producers of this illegal crop.
The 32-year-old suspect, Anas Sani Sayinna, while responding to a question from journalists, said he brought the seeds from Lagos six months ago.
“I call on my colleagues and those yet to engage in the cultivation of the drug-related crop to desist and engage in legal and meaningful ventures that will make them self-reliant and successful,” Vanguard quoted the suspect saying.
