He has been fingered as the mastermind of the mob attack in Hong on October 6, 2020 that led to the death of an NDLEA operative and another officer now bedridden due to permanent incapacitation.

The drugs were intercepted at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, and a courier company in Lagos.

 

The NDLEA spokeperson, Femi Babafemi, said two freight agents; Nneji Anoma and Etoh Barnabas, involved in the bid to export the nine parcels of Methamphetamine weighing 1.45kg hidden in packs of cornflakes to Malaysia through the NAHCO export shed of the MMIA on Wednesday, June 15, 2022 have been arrested.

The consignment, which had arrived SAHCO import shed since June 6 from India via Ethiopian Airline was eventually transferred to the NDLEA by Customs on Wednesday, June 15.

 

The NDLEA also said on Tuesday, June 14, a similar joint examination with Customs at the Customs enforcement terminal, Tincan seaport, Lagos led to the seizure of 33 parcels of cannabis indica (Colorado) weighing 16.5kgs.

 

The drug exhibit was recovered from a 40-foot container, TRHU 7874497 containing four vehicles.

 

The cannabis coming from Montreal, Canada was discovered in three out of the four vehicles in the container.

 

Also in Borno State, another drug dealer, Umar Musa, was arrested in Tashan Kano, Gwoza LGA on Thursday, June 17 with 8,000 capsules and tablets of Tramadol weighing 4.550kgs, while 32.182kgs cannabis were seized by NDLEA operatives along Okene/Abuja highway, Kogi state from a commercial bus travelling from Lagos to Abuja.
