NDLEA busts cocaine warehouse, seizes N193billion worth of crack in Lagos . Arrests 4 drug barons, 1 other

In what appears to be the biggest singular cocaine seizure in the history of Nigeria's premier anti-narcotic agency, operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have busted a major warehouse in a secluded estate in Ikorodu area of Lagos where 1.8tons (1,855 kilograms) of the illicit drug worth more than Two Hundred and Seventy Eight Million Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($278, 250,000) equivalent of about One Hundred and Ninety Four Billion, Seven Hundred and Seventy Five Million (N194, 775,000,000) Naira in street value were seized.

At least, four drug barons including a Jamaican and the warehouse manager have been arrested in the well coordinated and intelligence led operation that lasted two days across different locations in Lagos state. Kingpins of the cocaine cartel in custody include: Messrs Soji Jibril, 69, an indigene of Ibadan, Oyo state; Emmanuel Chukwu, 65, who hails from Ekwulobia, Anambra state; Wasiu Akinade, 53, from Ibadan, Oyo state; Sunday Oguntelure, 53, from Okitipupa, Ondo state and Kelvin Smith, 42, a native of Kingston, Jamaica. They are all members of an international drug syndicate that the Agency has been trailing since 2018.

Located at 6 Olukuola crescent, Solebo estate, Ikorodu, the warehouse was raided on Sunday 18th September, 2022, while the barons were picked from hotels and their hideouts in different parts of Lagos between Sunday night and Monday 19th September.
Preliminary investigation reveals the class A drugs were warehoused in the residential estate from where the cartel was trying to sell them to buyers in Europe, Asia and other parts of the world. They were stored in 10 travel bags and 13 drums.

While commending all the officers and men of the Agency involved in the extensive investigation including those of the American Drug Enforcement Administration, (US-DEA), Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd) said the bust is a historical blow to the drug cartels and a strong warning that they'll all go down if they fail to realise that the game has changed.

This is huge. I'm just imagining the quantity of 1,855kg of coke if 1 bag of cement is just 50Kg. Honestly I never knew that just a robust coke biz goes on in Nigeria. I was thinking in Nigeria they just smuggle few kilogrames and sell to the few rich folks that are interested

Afonja muslims this is the greatest achievement we've ever had. Thank you Wasiu and other coneheads

Are you thinking what I am thinking?

Tinubu

Crime never pays. Even if it pays you will eventually pay for your crimes.

Omo......this one loud oh

After seizure and arrest, what happens to the drugs?

I just don't believe the story because of the worth of cocaine NDLEA claimed they recovered.
It may just be adulterated crack not worth more than $1million in purity.
The people arrested may even come out tomorrow to deny it was crack,but some other chemicals for use in products manufacture.

A canary whistled them out.

Them don finally catch TINUBU

Afonja and drugs eh..

There is no way drug won't involve Obituarists.

Waohhh
