The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has seized 34,520 tramadol capsules, 148.3kg of Colorado cannabis, and 769kg of skunk, while dismantling a drug laboratory in separate operations across the country.
According to NDLEA spokesman Mr. Femi Babafemi, the drugs were intercepted in several locations, including a Toyota Corolla along Zaki-Biam/Wukari road, Kogi’s Okene/Lokoja highway, and Abuja/Kaduna tollgate. Suspects were arrested, and some consignments were destroyed. The seized opioids were being transported from Onitsha, Anambra, to Cameroon.
Babafemi added that the Agency continued its War Against Drug Abuse (WADA) sensitisation activities in schools, worship centres, workplaces, and communities in Ebonyi, Niger, Oyo, Sokoto, Adamawa, and Kebbi states.
NDLEA Chairman Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa (retd.) commended the officers for their efforts and urged continued vigilance and a balanced approach to drug control nationwide.
