Babafemi said operatives stormed the forest in the early hours of last Tuesday, following intelligence that a wanted drug kingpin had stored tons of the illicit substance in the forest and getting ready to distribute the drug to other parts of the country.

In other operations across the country,Babafemi said not less than 76.9 kilogrammes of Canadian Loud, a synthetic strain of cannabis were recovered from four used vehicles in a container marked MSDU6686346 from Canada at the Port Harcourt Ports Complex, Onne, Rivers State.

He said the drugs were intercepted between last Thursday and Friday during a joint inspection of the shipment with men of the Nigeria Customs Service.

Babafemi said the request for 100 per cent examination of the shipment followed earlier intelligence received by the agency on the container.

“In Kano State, two suspects; Ma’aruf Rabiu and Abubakar Mustapha were arrested last Tuesday along Zaria-Kano road with 260 blocks of cannabis weighing 139.4 kilogrammes, while Auwal Ibrahim was nabbed with 38 kilogrammes of the same substance the following day, Wednesday along Kaduna-Abuja road, also same day 35-year-old female suspect, Bilkisu Isiya, was arrested at Birnin Yero, Kaduna for being in possession of 5.6 kilogrammes of cannabis.

“In Borno State, two suspects: Abubakar Usman (aka Alhaji Mai Kero) and Adamu Yusuf were arrested at Bargu village, Shani local government area last Saturday with 165 blocks of skunk weighing 140.7 kilogrammes.

” Their arrest was effected deep inside a fluid insurgents’ environment with military support.

“A female suspect, Hauwa Ibrahim, 25, was also nabbed in the same village with 6.4 kilogrammes of the psychoactive substance, while another suspect Alhaji Abubakar, 27, was arrested at Njimtilo checkpoint with 4,200 ampoules of pentazocine injection and different quantities of D5 and exol-5 tablets.

” A 30-year-old suspect, Iroko Wasiu was arrested at a drug joint at Sabo Aba-Owolowo along Oyo-Ogbomoso expressway last Tuesday and 31.2 kilogrammes of cannabis recovered from him, while two suspects: Deji Adelabu, 35, and Mutiu Salau, 37, were nabbed the following day on Wednesday in Sabo area along Oyo- Ogbomoso road and Ahoro Dada area in Orire local government area of Oyo state with a total of 8 kilogrammes cannabis recovered from them,” the statement said.

In his reaction, the Chairman/CEO of NDLEA, retired Brig.-General Mohamed Buba Marwa commended the officers and men of the Edo, Onne Ports, Kano, Kaduna, Borno and Oyo state Commands for their commitment and synergy with other law enforcement agencies in their areas of responsibility.

Marwa urged them and their counterparts across the country to intensify the offensive action against drug cartels while ensuring a balance with drug demand reduction efforts.
