        Members of the Press
It is a pleasure to once again inform you on the tremendous success recorded in the anti-smuggling drive of the Command.
The Rapid Response Squad of Ogun Area Command based on credible intelligence intercepted four bales of second clothing/shoes suspected to have been use to conceal compressed packs of cannabis sativa (Indian Hemp) at Ihunbo-Okeodon creeks along Idiroko road. Upon thorough examination, forty two (42) compressed book packs and eighty eight (88) coconut packs of Cannabis Sativa (popularly known as Indian hemp) were uncovered. To this end, the Customs Area Controller (Comptroller Sani Madugu) directed the seizing Officer to immediately handover the said items to NDLEA Idiroko Command for investigation, in line with the existing cordial relationship and synergy between sister security agencies working in the border.
Furthermore, the NDLEA Idiroko Special Command field tested the aforementioned items using the United Nations Test Kit and affirmed that the items were positive for Cannabis Sativa and weighed seventy seven (77) Kilograms. Finally, it is pertinent to inform you that the rate, desperation and determination by smugglers to exploit all avenues to smuggle such unhealthy items into the society is worrisome. But together, with the cooperation of all patriotic Nigerians, we will be steps ahead of them and the success story will be ours.
Thank you
