He said in the process of blocking the vehicles, two of the drivers jumped off on motion while the third driver, 66-year-old Nasiru Ojomu, who works with wanted Akala, Mushin based drug baron, Suleiman Jimoh (alias Olowo Idi Ogede, also known as Temo) was arrested.

The NDLEA said in the last three years, its operatives have seized several shipments of the same psychoactive substance worth billions of naira linked to Temo.

The wanted drug lord has since gone into hiding while the agency continues manhunt for him.
