•Storm Edo forests, destroys hectares of drug farms, intercepts Canada, Australia-bound cocaine, heroin

Attempts by a female passenger, Isesele Obehi and one Emmanuel Chibuzor Omebere to export illicit drugs to Europe through the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, were thwarted by narcotic officers of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, (NDLEA), who arrested them shortly before they boarded their flights.

•Isesele Obehi

While Isesele was nabbed on Saturday, September 11, 2021, during outward clearance of Ethiopian Airlines flight at Gate B departure hall of the Lagos airport on her way to Milan, Italy with 312 sachets of Tramadol, weighing 1.5kg, concealed in crayfish and dried vegetables, Chibuzor was caught with 137.45 grammes of the same drug concealed in foodstuff at the Abuja airport on Thursday, September 2, during outward clearance of Turkish Airline flight to Istanbul, Turkey.

Disclosing this on Sunday, September 19, the NDLEA
Director, Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, said that also, operatives, in their nationwide proactive efforts against drug traffickers in the past week, continued in the interception and seizure of hundreds of kilogrammes of illicit substances at the airports, courier firms, hideouts and destruction of hectares of cannabis farms in the remote forests.

•Shuaibu Yusuf

In the same vein, efforts by desperate traffickers to export varying sizes of consignments containing cocaine, heroin and other illicit drugs through courier firms were foiled.

Some of these included 475 grammes of heroin concealed in food items going to Canada, 202 grammes of cocaine hidden in body cream containers going to Australia, 720grams of Cannabis Sativa tucked in computer hard drives heading to United Arab Emirates, UAE and another 2.1kg of cannabis hidden in body cream bottles going to Oman, while 60 grammes of cocaine concealed in degree certificates meant for Australia was also seized, all from three courier firms in Lagos.

In addition, a 38-year-old pregnant woman, Kate Ngozi Nwuju was arrested on Tuesday, September 14, at her residence in Rumueme, Mile 4 area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, with 4.5 kilogrammes of cannabis following intelligence that she sells drugs.

•Kate Ngozi Nwuju

Also, one Aliyu Saidu, suspected to be a fake soldier was arrested with 2.3kg of Cannabis Sativa in a commercial bus from Lagos to Makurdi, on Monday, September 13, at Aliade checkpoint, Benue State.

In Kano, one Shuaibu Yusuf was arrested on Friday, September 17, with 537kg of cannabis sativa, concealed among bags of cement in a truck, while in Ogun State, five persons were arrested on Tuesday, September 14, after their truck conveying 552kg cannabis was intercepted at Ogere Remo, on Lagos-Ibadan highway.

In a related development, narcotic officers on motorised patrol on Friday, September 17, arrested a 21-year-old Law Ubi at Marian Road, Calabar, Cross River State with 67.4 kg cannabis, while a follow-up search of his residence the following day, Saturday, led to the recovery of 4.2grams of cocaine.

•Omebere Emmanuel

In Edo, operatives stormed remote forests in Ovia North East area of the state between September 8 and 16, destroyed over 14 hectares of cannabis farms, and recovered 172.6kg of cannabis. Three female and a male suspects were also arrested in raids across Owan East and Akoko Edo areas of the state. Different quantities of cannabis and local mixtures called monkey tail were recovered from them.

•Aliyu Shaibu

Commending the officers and men of the Lagos airport, Abuja airport, Benue, Kano, Ogun, Rivers, Cross River and Edo commands as well as those of the Directorate of Operation and General Investigation, DOGI, of the Agency for maintaining the heat on drug dealers, Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd) said “their efforts further reaffirm our determination that those in this criminal trade will always have the new NDLEA to contend with, whether in their homes, on the streets, at the ports and deep in the forests.

“We’ll chase them with every legitimate force and smoke them out, up to the last man or woman if they fail to repent.”
