Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have arrested members of a syndicate involved in the illicit importation and trafficking of lethal synthetic opioid, Fentanyl, a drug which is 100 times stronger than Tramadol and capable of causing mass casualty among the youth population being targeted by the cartels.

A statement released by Femi Babafemi, spokesperson of the agency today May 30, says the arrest of the two members of the syndicate: Odoh Collins Oguejiofor and Oliver Chigozie Uzoma at Ogbogwu market, Onitsha Head Bridge, Onitsha South LGA, Anambra State, in well-coordinated and clinical operations, is coming on the heels of an alert issued by the anti-narcotics Agency on Tuesday 22nd November 2022 that some criminal elements were plotting to flood the Nigerian market with the drug, which is currently responsible for over 70% overdose deaths as well as a major contributor to fatal and nonfatal overdoses in the United States. According to the CDC in the US, Fentanyl is 80 times as potent as morphine and 100 times more potent than heroin.

‘’Following credible intelligence and synergy with local and international partners, the NDLEA was able to mobilise necessary assets to trace the illicitly manufactured drug to the Ogbogwu market, Onitsha Head Bridge, reputed to be the largest drug market in West Africa, after months of undercover monitoring.

Convinced that the Agency has gathered sufficient evidence to nail the suspects, Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd) ordered a deployment of operatives to pick members of the syndicate one after the other. Odoh Collins Oguejiofor was the first to be arrested while on a business mission with packets of 100 micrograms of Fentanyl, while the arrest of Uzoma who is a major dealer in other illicitly manufactured pharmaceutical opioids including Fentanyl, followed.'' the statement in part read

Interesting

Just by the main looking of the head u will know the state that they are from

I don't understand
this drug are supposed to be legal in the market according to what I'm seeing.

why are youths abusing drugs meant for good things and potency thereby leaving us with less potent drugs.
this is how they abused Tramadol which is far superior than Paracetamol and Ibrufen in pain relieving and also Coden which is the most potent cough syrup in the market.
today we're left with drugs that will take days to be effective.
who dey even discover this drugs to the youths to abuse sef ?

See one of the Anambra billionaires, his mansion will be empty now when he relocates to prison. Is it not even better to build brow-roof houses with rest of mind than building mansions that will remain desolate at any unexpected time. Arike Dabiri has been vindicated again and again since she keeps up-to-date records

They will soon come and blame Tinubu or DSS.
I don't know why they don't have conscience. Get rich by all means so as to pose on Social Media

the syndicate: Odoh Collins Oguejiofor and Oliver Chigozie Uzoma at Ogbogwu market, Onitsha Head Bridge, Onitsha South LGA, Anambra State
