This is even as the NDLEA said no less than 37.5 kilograms of such illicit consignments were intercepted in the past week, with the arrest of 11 suspects in interdiction operations that led to the seizure of almost four tons of skunk in Kaduna, Kano and Lagos States.

A breakdown of the operations and arrests as released by the spokesperson of the NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, showed that at the Lagos Airport, a freight agent Ogunsina Damilare, was arrested on Friday, January 6 following a bid to export 1.5 kilograms of skunk hidden in foodstuffs to Dubai, UAE through the SAHCO export shed of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA).

At the Tincan Port in Lagos, a shipment of 24.5kilograms of cannabis indica to Nigeria from Montreal, Canada was intercepted by operatives while an N8million bribe offered NDLEA officers by the importer has been secured in an account for the prosecution of the case.

While the importer, Cedrick Maduweke is still at large, one of his accomplices, Steve Isioma Adigwe, has been arrested.
