To begin with, the NSCN-IM bulletin said it had issued warning statements against its own members that nobody wouldbe spared if found indulging in drug trafficking in any manner.
“Irrespective of rank or status, high or low, a befitting penalty will be given. There is no point shouting from the rooftopagainst drugs trafficking if our own kitchen is not made cleanse of drugs,” the NSCN-IM bulletin added.
It then said everything must begin in right earnest to send home the message across that NSCN has not degenerated into something the world will find pleasure to laugh away at for choosing to go the way of lipstick fight against drugs. “We are, therefore, going full throttle to run down our own members,” it further added.
