MARIJUANA DESTROYED Masaka - The Anti-Narcotic squad in Masaka led by Yona Kafurukye last week destroyed two acres of marijuana in Bulawula village in Kalungu county, Masaka. Kafurukye said the squad with a team of detectives accompanied by the LCI boss destroyed 400 plants of marijuana and arrested three suspects. They were remanded after appearing before the district magistrate. They are: Mrs. Ssebunya, Mrs. Ntege and Ndugwa. Kafurukye said marijuana consumption in Masaka is rampant and is a source of crime. "In many areas it has become a cash crop," he said. He appealed to local leaders to report marijuana suppliers in their areas. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
