The NDLEA also arrested a six-month-pregnant lady, a mother of three children, and three other women in major interdiction operations.

NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said in a statement at the weekend that these operations led to the seizure of over 7,609 kilograms of assorted illicit drugs in eight states.

The bulk of the seizures was made in Nasarawa state where NDLEA operatives, acting on credible intelligence on Sunday, February 4, intercepted a truck marked Lagos JJJ 64 YC conveying 367 jumbo bags of cannabis sativa weighing 4,037 kilograms from Akure, Ondo state, to be delivered at Shabu area of Lafia, the state capital.
