Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have intercepted two imported consignments of Loud, a strong strain of cannabis, with a combined weight of 5,344.1 kilograms along the Epe-Lekki corridor and at the Alfa beach, Lekki area of Lagos state.

Based on credible intelligence, NDLEA operatives laid ambush for a white truck conveying 50 jumbo bags of the illicit substance weighing 2, 434.1kg along the Epe-Lekki expressway in the early hours of Monday 19th June. The truck driver however jumped out of the vehicle and escaped in a security hilux van escorting the truck, after the anti-narcotics officers successfully demobilized the truck conveying the drug exhibits.

In the same vein, officers of the Marine Command of the Agency the following day, Tuesday 20th also acting on intelligence intercepted a boat loaded with the same imported substance weighing 2,910kg around Alfa Beach upon arrival from Ghana. Two Ghanaians: Monday Saba, 30, and Hakeem Kwana, 27, found with the consignments were promptly arrested.

In Niger state, two suspects: Abubakar Mohammed, 32, and Nuhu Sale, 43, were arrested on Sunday 18th June along Abuja expressway, Suleja with 31 jumbo bags of skunk weighing 517kg, while a 30-year-old Amina Alilu was arrested with 171kg of the substance on Wednesday 21st June at Ogbogodo village, Dekina LGA, Kogi state.

A suspected fake female security agent, Ogedegbe Dorcas, 34, was also nabbed at Ajegunle Asa Dam Area of Ilorin, Kwara State with 30kg of cannabis on Thursday 22nd June, while in Oyo state, NDLEA operatives intercepted 42-year-old Segun Olajide with 49.2kg of same substance on Saturday 24th June in Oyo town.

Operatives in Edo state stormed Ekudo forest, Uhunmwode LGA where they destroyed a cannabis farm measuring 2.494863 hectares, recovered processed weeds weighing 67kg and arrested six suspects namely: Onyeka Onyedinma; Monday Onyedi; Alex Eboh; Edosa Imariagbe; Godbless Tunde and Godstime Osarobo in the early hours of Monday 19th June.

While commending the officers and men of the Lagos, Kogi, Niger, Kwara, Oyo, Edo and Marine Commands for blocking over five tons of illicit substances from going into circulation in the country in the past week, Chairman/Chief Executive of the Agency, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd) charged them and their compatriots across other formations to remain committed to the corporate goal of ridding Nigeria of the menace of substance abuse and illicit drug trafficking.

Damnnn niggar
Hell no

What da fuckkk is wrong with Ndlea

Main reason i will do everything possible to delve into politics
Like play like play....i go find my way into the legislative arm of government....
then boom...i propose a bill to legalize weed very important
Then boom again i go propse another bill make all religious institutions dey pay tax...any religious institutions that help in government project like building roads then we give them tax incentives ....


Give all my real niggarz contract

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency of Nigeria deserve all of the accolades for a job well done

But they just wanna emulate their President.

2.5 hectare, see money. That is why some people no dey complain no matter how the ecomony hard.
Be like i go add weed join this my farming business, i gats think about it later.

Omooh looks like an endless loop
So many people are into drugs

Cannabis farm that could have been converted to useful products for export

Oh look it's only SK.

Sometimes I wonder if there's any philosophical underpinning to policies of Nigerian state or they just copy any and every sh**t they see from overseas. The effort and resources spent chasing frivolities is enough to solve real problems.

What is the comparative advantage of destroying "drug" farms and chasing around dealers over legalizing and taxing same? Can any government laws and it's enforcement ever reduce, let alone stop, the use or abuse of drugs in Nigeria? What are the negative effects of drug deal comparatively to the resources expended on it's control?

Na wow 4 dis NDLEA oooo

Akwamkpuruamu:
But can't these drugs be monetized to grow the economy?

When we have old, clueless people in charge. They can't think out of the box.
I think we even have comparative advantage in growing cannabis than rice. Because everytime you hear flood or something else affected rice farm. But nothing affects cannabis farm let then give some people permission to cultivate and convert cannabis into useful products for export.

SAY NO TO DRUGS.

It kills you before your time and bring reproach and embarrassment to your family.

For the good, sane, honest and hardworking Nigerians out there.
God bless our hustle.
God no go shame una Laila.

hakym619:

You're so matured and patrotic Sir.
I see no reason why some nairalanders opposes you vehemently.

First and foremost,
We are not 'Sir',,
We are simply WE.
Thate being said......

As you rightly said, 'some Nairalanders'.
And those are the fraudsters we have here, because we always burst their bubbles.
They only hide behind politics to type rubbish
Read the below, and youunderstandmore about us........

airsaylongcome:

Despite all the antagonism you sometimes face here, I want to believe that in the depth of your heart you are a good person. Might not necessarily see eye-to-eye with you on several of your opinions (the political ones) but when it comes to issues of empathy and humanity I'm often amazed at how I align with your views and positions. Continue being you irrespective of whether I (or the several other haters here) like you or not

You know, not everyone likes the truth but we will always say it.
Truth is not bitter, People are just bitter to the truth

Btw,
We are not a person,
But persons.
Do take note.

And Thanks for the kind words.

That's the game..
It's only lucrative because it's illegal.

Good.
Marwa is doing well.

Then let's join the few countries that legalise, or better still give a few companies license to grow the pland and convert to exportable products.

I read the names of the offenders and even before I saw a name,I knew a member of my Igbo ethnicity must be there.
But why can't people remove their minds from drug trafficking? Upon all the news of drug peddlers being arrested and imprisoned, some are planning on delving into the illicit trade.

..
