In the same vein, NDLEA operatives at the Lagos airport have thwarted attempt by a suspect, Chimezie Innocent Nwafor to export 2.10 kilograms of methamphetamine to Brazil.

Follow up operations led to the arrest of three more suspects linked to the consignment at Oyingbo market, Yaba, Lagos. They include: Ifeanyi Onu; Simon Nwuzor and Omini ThankGod Peter. The meth consignment was molded into 25 bars of local black soup called Dudu Osun and packaged in a carton for export to Brazil.

A suspect, Onyeze Obiora has already been arrested in connection with the seizure.

Another bid by an intending passenger to Reggio, Italy, Osasere MacDonald, to export 500grams of tramadol 225mg concealed inside a carton of indomie noodles on Tuesday 21st March was equally frustrated by vigilant officers who seized the drugs and arrested him.

On the same day, operatives of the Tincan Port command of the Agency also intercepted 107 kilograms of Cannabis Indica popularly known as Colorado hidden in a container bearing four used vehicles imported from Toronto, Canada. Few days later, Friday 24th March, Apapa Command of Customs Service was able to apprehend and hand over to NDLEA two suspects: Ademola Adekunle and Dayo Olatunji linked to the consignment.

In Edo, operatives on Friday 24th March intercepted in Auchi, Etsako West LGA, a DAF trailer marked ZUR 378 XJ (Kebbi) with 69 bags of Cannabis Sativa weighing 700kg concealed under bags of fertiliser. While the bags of fertiliser were to be delivered in Funtua, Katsina state, the cannabis consignment was to be dropped in Kaduna. Both the driver of the truck, Babangida Mande and his assistant Mandir Abdullahi are already in custody. Another suspect, Ijarekhai Ogbewee was arrested on Thursday 23rd March at Ishokha Quarters, Otuo, Owan East LGA, with 32kg of the same substance.

Hhmmm na waoo that drug is too much oo his is lucky they caught him here in Nigeria, now death straight in Vietnam, in this age and time people should desist from drug business, alot of things has change is no longer easy to do it like b4

Our brother from the East, the developer General of the world, the richest tribe in the world have done it again, a tribe who are majorly Christians and who tells everybody that God's time is the best but don't actually wait for God's time. Business men by the day and Drug peddler by night. No wonder they believe that they are the richest tribe in the world, in sharp contrast, the Yorubas are silent achievers, they don't show off now shout about their achievements, they just focus and continue breaking records.


Look at Nigeria today, Yorubas have strategically dominate the future of Nigeria, the future of the world is technology and not trading, Yoruba people dominate that aspect of this country, in fact Fluterwave own by a Yoruba man is worth over 3 Billion dollars, am not sure any Igbo business is worth that amount in Nigeria.

Make una dey play.
