“Our major challenge is the way some unscrupulous elements in some communities in Central Cross River where cannabis popularly known as Indian Hemp is highly cultivated”

“Cross River State Government under the leadership of Governor Imoke is trying for us but we still need more patrol vehicles to monitor this drug peddlers because we have launched Operation Tiger to smoke out all those involved in these communities and we cannot do it alone, we need the support of all”
