Tanzanian President John Magufuli has praised the country’s police chief for suspending 12 junior officers last week on suspicion of drugs trafficking.
He told police to crack down on the drugs trade and said no-one should be spared, even if they were top officials or their relatives.
“Popularity should never matter. Arrest all suspects of drugs abuse, ask them where did they buy the drugs from and the dealers will tell you where they get the drugs from,” he said on Tanzanian television.
He went on to say: “Even if you suspect my wife Janet of being involved in this business, come and arrest her.”
Tanzanian media reports have suggested a number of high-profile people may face questioning in connection with the investigation.
