The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, in Taraba State said it has arrested a notorious queen of a drug cartel, Lami Rigima.
NDLEA said Rigima was supplying psychoactive substances to traffickers in Taraba
The NDLEA spokesman, Mr. Femi Babafemi, in a release in Abuja on Wednesday, revealed that operatives of the agency had made the arrest months after being on the wanted list.
Babafemi said that the 40-year-old came under the anti-narcotic agency’s searchlight when a number of traffickers arrested in the state in 2021 and early this year fingered her as their supplier.
He intimated that the manhunt for Lami paid off last Monday, April 4, when operatives tracked her hideout in Iware village in Ardo Kola Local Government Area of Taraba State.
