The Commander of the Borno Command, Mr Ona Ogilegwu, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Maiduguri on Sunday that one the suspects, a 48-year-old man, was arrested on Feb. 27 in the camp.
He said that other illicit substances, including cannabis sativa, rophenol, and diazepam, were found on the drug peddler.
He said: ``The criminal disguised himself as an officer of NDLEA in the IDPs camp in order to sell the illicit drugs.
``After surveillance by men of the command, we decided to buy the hard drugs from him to confirm that he was selling the drugs.
``We apprehended him as he taught we were coming to buy in large quantity.’’
Ogilegwu said that the command also arrested a 32-year-old man, who was similarly in possession of other hard drugs in the same IDPs camp.
``I dont know what is wrong with these people, but I will tell you that the level of drug intake among men and women in IDPs camps is beyond imagination.
``We have received several reports and we have sent our men to the 28 camps in the state to mop up all nefarious activities there,’’ said Ogilegwu.
