The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested 60 suspects at a drug party in Abuja. The operation took place on Friday night following credible intelligence about the event.
The suspects, including 25 males and 35 females, were detained at an apartment in Sun City Estate. The party, dubbed “Go Hard or Go Home. Pick Your Poison,” was organized by Stanley Ikechukwu, who was also arrested.
NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi revealed that six suspects were found with ecstasy and cannabis. NDLEA Chairman Brig Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd) ordered the unconditional release of 20 suspects who tested negative for drugs. The 33 individuals who tested positive will be released on bail and are required to report for treatment and counseling.
In a similar development in Edo State, NDLEA operatives arrested four suspects in a deep forest in Ugun, Igueben Local Government Area. During the raid, they destroyed 18,632 kilograms of cannabis on 7.45 hectares of farmland. The suspects were identified as Endurance Okon, Joseph Michael, Ovoco Bright, and Goday Abanum.
The NDLEA said it will continue its crackdown on drug-related activities, highlighting the ongoing efforts to curb the distribution and consumption of illegal substances in Nigeria.
