Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), last Wednesday uncovered an hotel in Abuja, the nation’s capital where drugs are allegedly sold and young ladies camped for commercial sex.

No fewer than four persons; comprising of three ladies and a man were arrested at  the drug joint – JAT Suites, located at 30 Lobito Crescent, Wuse 2.

During the raids, some quantities of Rohypnol and paraphernalia – for smoking crack cocaine were recovered.

It was also learnt that the hotel is operated without requisite approvals in a high-profile neighborhood and patronised by call girls while the bar serves as the spot to smoke and sell drugs to the young girls and their customers.

NDLEA, in a statement by its spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, on Sunday, informed that the Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa has directed the FCT Command and the Directorate of Assets and Financial Investigations of the agency to do all within the law to ensure the property is forfeited to the Federal Government to serve as a deterrent to others who allow their premises to be used for drug dealing.
