The seizure made from six containers on Saturday 29 June 2024 was the third of such in the past four weeks following credible intelligence and diligent tracking of the consignments from their port of departure by a special operations unit of NDLEA, which worked in partnership with the Port Harcourt Ports Command of the Agency and other security agencies including the Customs Service for a 100 percent joint examination of the targeted containers.


At the end of the joint examination of the six containers, a total of 6,125 cartons containing 1,050,000 bottles of codeine syrup weighing 157,500 kilograms were recovered on Saturday. Meanwhile, NDLEA officers at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA Ikeja Lagos have arrested two passengers travelling to Doha on a Qatar Airways flight at the screening point of terminal 2 after they tested positive to ingestion of illicit substances on Friday 21 June. The suspects: Aikhomoun Daniel (alias Oladapo Olanrewaju) and Avigoro Waheed Omobolaji were thereafter taken into observatory custody.


While Daniel excreted a total of 90 wraps of cocaine weighing 1.022kg in six excretions, Ayigoro discharged 60 wraps of the same Class A substance with a total weight of 662grams in five egestion.


Further investigation revealed that Aikhomoun Daniel actually stole the identity of his late uncle who was once hased in Germany, a decision he claimed he took to get Schengen visa to enable him free access to Europe, while his real name is Oladapo Olanrewaju.


No less than 40.32kg of Loud, an imported strong strain of cannabis was on Friday 28 June recovered in a black Toyota Tacoma truck along Lekki-Ikoyi road when the driver jumped


off the vehicle after noticing that NDLEA operatives were on his trail.


In Abuja, NDLEA operatives on Friday night disrupted a drug party dubbed "Go hard or Go


Home. Pick Your Poison", where sixty (60) saspects comprising 25 males and 35 females


were arrested at an apartment in Sun City estate in the Federal Capital Territory. The raid

followed credible intelligence about the drug party organized by one Stanley Ikechukwu who was arrested at the venue.


At least six of the suspects: Victoria Adoga; Hamza Yari; Joanne Essein Joy, Socchima Valentine, Jago Imole, and Charles Indobuibisi, were arrested with different quantities of ecstasy and cannabis. The Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Brig Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd) has directed that 20 of the suspects who tested negative to drug be released unconditionally, while 33 others who tested positive to illicit drugs were to be released on bail and will report at the FCT Command of the Agency on Monday to begin treatment and counselling


No fewer than four suspects: Endurance Okon, 24, Joseph Michael, 23; Ovoco Bright, 43, and Goday Abanum, 23, were arrested in the deep forest of Ugun, Igueben LGA, Edo state on Saturday 29 June when NDLEA operatives raided and destroyed 18,632.22 kilograms of cannabis on 7.452888 hectares of farmland.


In the same vein, Commands and formations of the Agency across the country continued their War Against Drug Abuse, WADA, sensitization activities to schools, worship centres, work places and communities among others in the past week.

While commending the officers and men of the MMIA, Port Harcourt Ports, Lagos and Edo Commands for the arrests, seizures and their dexterity, Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd) wamed drug cartels that no matter the ingenuity of their modes of trafficking, the dedicated workforce of the Agency in collaboration with other stakeholders and partners will always be steps ahead to expose them and thwart their tricks. He enjoined the officers and their colleagues across the country to continue with the ongoing balanced approach to the drug control efforts of the agency.
