Europe-bound 4kg Meth seized as physically challenged lady tops list of dealers nabbed

Several attempts by agents of drug cartels to break through the security at Nigerias main airports in Lagos and Abuja with large consignments of assorted illicit substances have been thwarted by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.

No fewer than 11 members of the trafficking syndicates have been arrested in connection to the seizures. Beside the 11 suspects, a 35-year-old physically challenged lady, Kasarachi Onumajuru who hides under her condition to deal drugs in Umudumaonu community, Mbaitoli local government area of Imo state was also arrested on Sunday 29th May.

First on the list of those arrested in connection to seizures at the two airports is Ofor Chima Chileobi who had on Friday 20th May attempted to export to Dubai, UAE, 200 blocks of cannabis sativa weighing 30.20kg concealed in 40 sacks of bitter leaf through the SAHCO export shed, a cargo wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.

On the same day, 10 cartons of khat with a gross weight of 354.600kg were also seized at the NAHCO import shed of the airport. The following day, Saturday 21st May, a freight agent, Roland Orinami was arrested by NDLEA operatives attached to the local wing of the Lagos airport with1.90kg Loud, a variant of cannabis, factory packed in some bottles while trying to send same via flight to Abuja.

A follow up operation in Abuja led to the arrest of a taxi driver, Nsikak Evans sent to collect the consignment. His confession also led to the arrest of the actual owner, Adesanya Olakunle Isaac at his house in Life Camp area of Abuja. Adesanya who claims to be into Information Technology, accepted ownership of the seized drug, which he said was meant for an upcoming birthday party of one of his friends.

On Tuesday 24th May, another freight agent, Moshood Azeez Olaide was arrested at NAHCO export shed of the MMIA when he presented a cargo containing psychotropic substances heading to Dubai. The illegal consignment was packed into other items such as can drinks, liquid bitters and other non-controlled drugs. The seized drugs include Tramadol 225mg, Rohypnol and MDMA. A follow up operation led to the arrest of another suspect linked to the crime, Olagboye Selim on Friday 27th May.

Also on the same day, operatives of the Nigerian Customs Service at NAHCO import shed transferred 15 cartons of khat leaf with a gross weight of 256.70kg, which came into the country on Royal Air Moroc to NDLEA command at the airport.

The previous day, Monday 23rd May, another freight agent, Lasebikan Felix Gbega was arrested with 200 bottles of pentazocine injection, with a brand name "Drutapent" weighing 1.05kg. The consignment was heading to the United States of America.

Another agent, Akuta Chioma Lucy was on Thursday 26th May arrested at the SAHCO export shed while attempting to export 14.75kg of khat concealed inside other vegetable leaves and food condiments such as bitter leaf, scent leaf, pepper, all packed in bags for shipment to the United Kingdom.

Ezika who claims hes into shoe business before his arrest travelled to Ethiopia on 23rd May on the invitation of the person who gave him the drug, which he ingested before returning into the waiting arms of NDLEA officers at the Abuja airport.
In the same vein, efforts by drug cartels to export 4kg methamphetamine concealed in nylon rolls to New Zealand were also frustrated by anti-narcotic officers attached to a courier company in Lagos just as they blocked different quantities of cannabis sativa and Tramadol hidden in soles of slippers from being shipped to Oman through the same firm.

Meanwhile, no fewer than 335,820 tablets of Tramadol, Exol 5, Diazepam and Rohypnol as well as 400 bottles of codeine syrup concealed in bags of vegetables have been intercepted in Abuja in a hummer passenger bus coming from Enugu on Monday 30th May.

In Imo state, 1,111kg of cannabis sativa heading to the Orlu forest, which has become a fortress for non-state actors, was intercepted on Thursday 26th May.

If you want to destroy Drug cartels

Make Marijuana LEGAL

Then, everyone can grow it like flowers

But if you make it illegal

That means few people (cartels) have power of distribution and mad millions in profit.

By making weed legal ypu remove tge distribution power and finance of cartels.

So think deep,

Why is weed not Legal

The drug agencies and cartel dont want it to be LEGAL.

E GO SPOIL BUSINESS FOR THEM
KNOW THIS AND KNOW PEACE

There’s money in drugs oh.
Have you been around people who are dependent on drugs? That’s when you will know why people still engage in the sales of these illicit substances.
I don’t support drugs but don’t be caught in the habit of either selling drugs or consuming drugs. Mehn that shit is 100% spiritual grin

I'm concerned about how Amotekun terrorists have finished yorubas in their own land.

How can you do this to your own people because of ordinary Oduduwa nation agitation?

This is not the way to achieve it

This strategy of bombing churches and killing masses is bad because those innocent yorubas killed are not the ones preventing the actualization of Oduduwa nation.


I think yoruba elders need to come together and stop Amotekun before things get out of hand.

These people don't seem to care about pushing hard drugs in as much as they aren't caught. In their minds, it only ends the day they are arrested. What a life of uncertainty.

The youths don't care if you're Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba or from other tribes, we ONLY care about competency. Until you find us someone more competent, we are choosing Peter Obi.
