NDLEA Arrests Three Persons with Disability for Drug Trafficking; Seizes N5.8 Billion Cannabis Stash

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intensified its crackdown on illicit drug activities across Nigeria, with recent operations yielding substantial seizures and arrests. Notably, three individuals with disabilities were apprehended for alleged drug trafficking in separate incidents in Anambra and Kwara States. This development highlights the agency's broad reach and commitment to pursuing drug offenders regardless of their circumstances. In parallel, a major drug stash house in Lekki, Lagos, was uncovered, yielding a staggering 2,326 kilograms of high-grade cannabis, valued at over ₦5.8 billion. The dismantling of a skuchies production factory in Lagos further underscores the multifaceted nature of the drug trade the NDLEA is combating. These operations, occurring alongside ongoing War Against Drug Abuse (WADA) sensitization campaigns, demonstrate the agency's dual approach of enforcement and prevention. The NDLEA's persistent efforts are crucial in curbing the flow of narcotics and protecting Nigerian communities from the devastating impact of drug abuse.
