The Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has apprehended a 42-year-old man, Ahmad Mohammed, accused of supplying drugs to insurgents in Borno State.


This arrest comes as part of a broader crackdown on drug trafficking and distribution across the country, with a total of 24 suspected traffickers and dealers recently apprehended by NDLEA operatives.


According to a statement released on Sunday by the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, the arrest of Ahmad Mohammed is a significant breakthrough in efforts to combat the illicit drug trade fueling insurgency activities in the region.


Mohammed was reportedly supplying narcotics to insurgents in Banki, a border region between Nigeria and Cameroon.


The arrest occurred on Friday, February 9th, when NDLEA operatives intercepted Mohammed at a checkpoint in Borno State.


Upon searching his luggage, they discovered a staggering 20,000 capsules of tramadol, an opioid substance commonly abused by insurgents, destined for delivery in the border town.
