Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have intercepted two boats loaded with 1,960 kilograms of Ghanaian Loud, a strong strain of cannabis at the Eleko beach in Lekki area of Lagos.
NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi, who disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, said the boats were intercepted by operatives of the Marine Command on Christmas eve.
“Six foreign nationals who brought the consignments from Ghana were arrested during the operation. They include: two Ghanaians: Godsway John, 38; and Freedom Kelvin, 33; as well as four Beninese: Chegoun Hounsou, 23; Gadabor Nyameto, 47; Adantg Sasa, 34; and Ayao Kayivi, 21,” the statement said.
Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, retired Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa commended the efforts of the officers and men of the agency for job well done in the past week.
He tasked them and their compatriots nationwide not to rest on the achievements of 2024 but continue to raise the bar in their offensive action against drug barons and cartels with an equal measure of WADA sensitisation campaigns in the new year.
