These arrests were made concurrently with the seizure of over 7,609 kilograms of various illicit drugs across eight states.

Femi Babafemi, the spokesperson for the agency, disclosed that a large quantity of concealed opioid pills was intercepted, intended for delivery to insurgents/terrorists’ enclave in the Banki area of Borno State.

He stated, “The majority of the seizures occurred in Nasarawa State, where NDLEA operatives, acting on credible intelligence on February 4, intercepted a truck with the license plate Lagos JJJ 64 YC, transporting 367 jumbo bags of cannabis sativa weighing 4,037 kilograms from Akure, Ondo State, destined for delivery at Shabu area of Lafia, the state capital.

“Three suspects, namely Shuaibu Liman, 35; Monday Audu, 33; and Linus Samuel, 42, were apprehended in connection with the seizure.

“The following day, on February 5, operatives in Abuja, FCT, arrested Jibrin Shuaibu, 23, and Prosper Innih, 17, with 169 bags and 80 blocks of compressed cannabis sativa weighing 1,961.5 kilograms concealed in a truck with license plate Ogun WDE 557 XC.

“The truck was intercepted during a stop-and-search operation on the Abaj-Abuja highway while en route from Uzeba to Dei-Dei, FCT.

“In another operation by NDLEA operatives in Abuja on February 6, a suspect, Abdulhameed Dauda, 27, was arrested with 89 kilograms of the same psychoactive substance loaded into his truck in Owo, Ondo state, destined for delivery at Gwagwalada in FCT.

“On the same day, operatives also intercepted another driver, Hassan Ade, 30, transporting 696.5 kilograms of the same substance loaded in Idoani, Ondo state, destined for delivery at Gwagwalada and Dei-Dei in FCT.

“A subsequent operation led to the arrest of Mrs. Joy Chukwuka, 42, a mother of three children, associated with the consignment.

“In Ondo State, aside from the seizure of 633.5 kilograms of cannabis at Eleyere, Ogbese in Akure North LGA, NDLEA operatives also recovered 59 jumbo bags of the same substance loaded in a truck marked GAD 287 XA, heading to the northern part of the country.

“Detergents were sprayed on the cannabis bags ostensibly to suppress the odor of the psychoactive weed, while 192 packs of table water were loaded on top to conceal the illicit consignment.
