Babafemi said another attempt by a freight agent, Mordi Chukwuemeka Samuel, to export 900 grams of the same substance, Loud, hidden inside walls of a traveling bag containing food items, to Kenya, was also thwarted by NDLEA officers at the SAHCO export shed of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos on Saturday 29th April.

“When Mordi presented the bag, which he claimed contained food items for export, operatives noticed that in the course of searching the consignment, the side walls of the bag were unevenly bloated, after which they dismantled the false packings and recovered the illicit substance.

“The previous day, Friday, 28th April, NDLEA operatives at the Tincan port intercepted 63kg Canadian Loud packed in bags in the boot of one of the five used vehicles in a container marked, TLLU4840762 coming from Toronto via Montreal, during a joint examination with other stakeholders at the port.

“Similarly, men of the Agency’s Directorate of Operations and Investigation, DOGI, attached to courier firms also on Thursday 27th April intercepted a 1.53kg skunk concealed in old hard drives meant for export to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

“In Benue State, operatives recovered 859 bottles of Codeine based Syrup weighing 117.3kg abandoned by a suspected dealer about two kilometers away from NDLEA checkpoint along Enugu – Otukpo road on Wednesday 26th April, while two suspects: Kabiru Muhammed, 35, and Isah Muhammed, 28, were arrested with 20 blocks of cannabis weighing 11.2kg concealed in a bag of cassava flakes (garri) along Zaria-Kano road, Kano on Friday 28th April.

” No fewer than seven bags of cannabis with a gross weight of 74.5kg were recovered when operatives raided an uncompleted building located in a bush in Ala town, Akure area of Ondo State just as 60kg of the same substance concealed among footwears in two jumbo sacks was recovered from one Aminu Mohammed along Ibadan – Oyo road, Oyo State while waiting to board a vehicle to Kebbi State.

“In Adamawa State, NDLEA operatives on Saturday, 29th April raided a clandestine factory in Mubi, where a new psychoactive substance, Akuskura, was being produced in large quantity and distributed to Chad, Cameroon and Niger Republic.

” At the time of the raid, production activities were ongoing in the premises,” the statement explained.

In his reaction to the seizures and arrests, the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, retired Brig-Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa commended the officers and men of MMIA, Tincan, DOGI, Kano, Ondo, Oyo, Benue, and Adamawa Commands for their vigilance and professionalism in the discharge of their duties.

Marwa then charged them and their colleagues across the country to continue to discharge their duties without fear or favour.
