By Patricia Mbewe

The Drug Enforcement Commission has arrested 50 people in Lusaka’s Chibolya compound for trafficking in over 60 kilograms of cannabis, contrary to chapter 96 of the laws of Zambia.

The 50 who include 46 males and 4 females have been arrested for trafficking in a total of 62.9kg of dry loose cannabis.

Other seizures made during the joint operation with the Zambia Army include 3,350 tablets of diazepam which when taken with alcohol and other drugs may cause drowsiness.

DEC Public Relations Officer Theresa Katongo who has confirmed the development says the suspects are in police custody and are expected to appear in court soon.

Ms. Katongo says DEC is therefore encouraging members of the public to continue collaborating with the commission by reporting matters relating to drug abuse, trafficking and money laundering in their various communities.
