Nigeria’s Anti-narcotic Agency, the National Drug Laws Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), has arrested 185 drug traffickers at different drug joints in Abuja, Nigeria’s Capital and Kano, the Northern commercial city.
The Agency’s operatives seized different quantities of drugs from the traffickers during the last week’s operations.
A press statement by the agency’s spokesperson, Mr. Femi BabaFemi in Abuja said, two businessmen were also arrested by NDLEA operatives at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja for cocaine ingestion.
BabaFemi said, both excreted 193 pellets of the illicit drug after three days in observatory custody.
“The traffickers: Onoh Ebere, 49, and Christian Ifeanyi Ogbuji, 47, were intercepted at the Abuja airport on Wednesday, 10th May upon their arrival from Uganda via Addis Ababa, onboard Ethiopian Airlines flight ET 951.”
The Anti-narcotic operatives have arrested traffickers and seized various quantities of illicit drugs in Lagos, Ogun, Taraba, Borno, Plateau and Anambra states.
While commending the officers and men of the affected commands for their resilience, the Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, retired Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa urged them and their colleagues across the country to intensify their drug supply and drug demand reduction activities.
