NACOC Targets Nightclubs, Pubs, Others This Festive Season
The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) is targeting nightclubs, entertainment venues, pubs, and public events this festive season.
This is part of ongoing efforts to combat drug abuse, trafficking, and the distribution of illicit substances, it explained.
It recognises that the festive season often brings heightened risks of drug abuse.
“Operations will be carried out, where necessary, in collaboration with other law enforcement and regulatory agencies. Key focus areas include detecting and preventing the sale and use of illicit substances, ensuring compliance with national narcotics laws and regulations, and educating patrons and operators on the dangers of drug abuse.”
NACOC therefore urged venue owners, managers, and event organisers to cooperate fully with authorised officers and to take proactive measures to ensure their premises remain drug-free.
It assured the public that all operations will be conducted professionally, with full respect for human rights, while maintaining a firm stance against narcotic-related offences.
Meanwhile, it encouraged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities related to drug use or trafficking.
