Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says it has intercepted two giant music speakers used to conceal four large parcels of methamphetamine weighing 2.700kilograms in Adamawa State.

The agency said the drugs concealed in the speakers were meant for distribution of illicit drugs in Yola and Mubi towns in Adamawa State, and across the border into Cameroon.

Spokesman of the agency, Femi Babafemi, confirmed this in a statement on Sunday.

According to him, two suspects, a 41-year-old ex-convict and Malaysian returnee, Ndubuisi Udatu (aka Richard) and 35-year-old Odoh Peter Ikechukwu have been arrested in connection with the crime.

Babafemi said : “Ndubuisi was arrested inside a commercial transport bus at an NDLEA check point at Namtari along Ngurore -Yola road, Adamawa on Monday 7th April 2025.

“He was found with two new music speakers used to conceal four packages of methamphetamine and monetary exhibit of N22,300.

“In his statement, he claimed he returned to Nigeria to continue his illicit drug trade after serving out his jail term in Malaysia where he had been arrested, convicted and sent to prison for drug trafficking offences.”

He also said that NDLEA officers in a joint border operation with Customs personnel at the Nigeria/Cameroon border, Mfum, Cross River State arrested a trans-border drug trafficker, 35-year-old Odoh Peter Ikechukwu, with 8,740 ampoules of assorted opioids, weighing 395kg.

“They include: 1,080 ampoules of fentanyl injection, 2,160 ampoules of morphine sulphate injection, 3,010 ampoules of phenobarbital sulphate injection, 2,160 ampoules of pethidine injection, and 330 ampoules of midazolam injection.

“In Kano, NDLEA operatives on Friday 11th April 2025 arrested 27-year-old Aliyu Ibrahim with 20 ATM cards and 25,600 pills of tramadol 225mg and 250mg at Bachirawa area of Kano, while 48-year-old Gambo Lawan was nabbed in a follow up operation at Wazobia motor park, Gwagwalada FCT Abuja following the seizure of a consignment of 8,960 pills of tramadol by NDLEA officers on routine check along Gwagwalada expressway on Monday 7th April.

“Not less than 124 kilograms of skunk, a strain of cannabis, packaged in 11 jumbo bags were on Friday 11th April recovered from the boot of a Lexus car marked KTU 54 CU driven by a suspect, Ademiluyi Adedapo Collins, 58, along Mokwa-Jebba road, Niger state,” the statement said.

The NDLEA also said its commands across the country continued to balance their drug supply reduction operations with War Against Drug Abuse ( WADA) social advocacy campaigns to schools, markets, worship centres and communities in the past week.

“Some of these include WADA sensitisation lecture delivered to students and staff of New Era Secondary School, Nteje, Anambra; Promise Land College, Ikotun Egbe, Lagos; Cherryfield College, Jikwoyi, FCT; Federal Polytechnic, Ayede, Ogbomoso, Oyo state; Nurul Faruq Islamic Academy, Gombi, Adamawa State, while the Kwara State command paid a WADA advocacy visit to Oloro of Oro kingdom, Oba Joel Olaniyi Oyatoye Titiloye Olufayo II, among others.

The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, retired Brig.-Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa in his reaction to the arrests and seizures commended the efforts of the officers and men of Adamawa, Cross River, FCT, Kano and Niger State Commands of the Agency for job well done.

Marwa charged them and their compatriots nationwide not to rest on their oars but continue to raise the bar in their offensive action against drug cartels with an equal measure of drug demand reduction efforts.
