Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), have dismantled a trans-border drug trafficking syndicate, arresting four key members in intelligence-led operations.
The crackdown resulted in the seizure of tramadol pills worth millions of naira hidden in vehicle compartments, methamphetamine disguised as auto spare parts, and other illicit substances across multiple states, including Anambra, Cross River, Nasarawa, Taraba, Ekiti, and Lagos.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, on Sunday.
NDLEA also intercepted a suspect, Chimezie Ojingwa, with 404.47 grams of methamphetamine, 506.49 grams of Loud (a synthetic cannabis strain), and 262.32 grams of dimethyl sulfone (a precursor for meth production) hidden inside a black bag filled with auto spare parts.
The NDLEA has reaffirmed its commitment to dismantling drug networks and preventing illicit substances from reaching the streets.
