The  presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, PETER OBI, has recommended that capital punishment be handed out to drug traffickers, as a way of stemming the tide of the menace in Nigeria.

Obi made the call in a series of tweets on his X handle on the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.

He also advised the federal government to invest in rehabilitating those already caught in the web of drug abuse, adding that to save the nation from the menace of drug abuse and illicit trafficking, more efforts must be channeled into preventing the spread of this virus.
