The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted no fewer than 1,596 cartons of codeine-based syrup containing 319,200 bottles of the opioid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the seized drugs are worth over \u20a62.2 billion in street value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NDLEA\u2019s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, announced the seizure on Sunday in Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Babafemi said that NDLEA operatives at Tincan seaport in Lagos on Friday intercepted two containers which came from Mundra port in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that the operatives recovered the drugs from the containers during a joint examination with other port stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, operatives of a Special Operations Unit in NDLEA have also arrested five cross-border female drug traffickers at the Seme border while on their way back to Lagos from Ghana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Babafemi said that the 42-year-old leader of the syndicate had been under NDLEA radar before being tracked and arrested on Aug. 21 along with other members of her gang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt the point of their arrest at the Seme border, a total of 14 packs of Loud, a strong strain of cannabis weighing a total of 6.97kg, were recovered from hidden parts of their bodies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same vein, two ladies were arrested by operatives in Edo state for online sales of illicit drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Babafemi said that a 26-year-old lady was nabbed at Kada Plaza, Benin, with quantities of Canadian Loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said another 21-year-old was arrested in the Ugbowo area of the city with 30 cups of cookies and 17 slices of cake, all laced with illicit substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Babafemi also said a raid at Oghada village in Uhunmwonde Local Government Area of the state on Aug. 20 led to the arrest of a 50-year-old with 288.8kg of cannabis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
